Boy, nothing like a concensus of oppinion!

Just my 2 cents worth. Try a test batch to see if you adjustment helps. I
agree with James. I have messed up some batchs when I tried to bring the pH
down. I would suggest you bring them down by taste using which ever acid
you decide on. Then test them. If you do not get them down to 3.6 or less,
then plan to drink them young. There are many good wines that have pH
higher than 3.6 but most do not keep well.
