doogie1987

i have started my first brew of wine but as yet there has been very few bubbles on serface but has got a very champagne sort of smell, i started it friday, today being monday and am worrying it has failed as it isnt bubbling like a beer would. am i just being stupid or is there something wrong?

Beers will often ferment more visibly, sometimes (but not always) with froth and can be vigorous especially when it is warmer, but wines often bubble away more gently so don't be suprised if it doesn't ferment like your beer, they are quite different. By using your hydrometer you can keep an eye on the readings which will change as it ferments, and will be a good indicator of when fermentation is complete
