Sure, if you've got the recipe?

Post what went into your wine, in what quantity and how much wine you've made and someone will help you out.

ok thanks

it was a kilo of granulated sugar
250 ml concentrated grape from a kit
4.5 litres of water half litre of apple juice but i put that in before i bottled it

Did you make to 4.5 litres or add 4.5 litres of water?

If you made to 4.5 litres, with 1kg sugar and your grape concentrate, fermented to dryness, I would estimate 14% alcohol.

You need an Ebulliometer . . . They are frighteningly expensive . . . Hamstead Homebrew do an Alcohol Testing Service using the ebulliometer they have for Beacon Valley Wines.
