Default Strawberry wine

I just picked 10-12 lbs of strawberries for a 3 gallon batch.
this will be my third time. My first was better than my second,
my second has a bit of harshness to it, although I was able to get some
strawberry concentrate in a "sample" from a juice supplier...I was tempted
to drink the whole thing without adding it to the wine, it was so
good...thus my second has a more pronounced strawberry flavour. Third
time's the charm? we'll see.

welches....the white? or the purple concord?

I used the concord grape for my most recent batch. But I did use the white
Welch's for my first batch, which was very good. The grape seems to enhance
the color already there. I'm making cranberry now, and I added the grape
Welch's - the color is much deeper than my first batch. I think it adds a
bit more body to the wine.
