started a WOW 2 1/2 weeks ago. Looks ready for bottling but just wondered how long usually till it’s ok to drink?
 
These wines don't get much better with age so they are fine to drink as soon as they are bottled, 2.5 weeks is a long time for a wow I usually move to clearing when I only see a bubble every minute which is normally around 7 or 8 days from start then a couple of days clearing, did you degas before adding fining?
 
I agree with Chippy, I find my WOW's have completely finished fermenting after 12 - 14 days. Rack off and another couple of days to clear and into bottles. After a week in the bottle they don't tend to improve much more (though I have had one or two that have).
