What is the gravity of the sparkling wine? If it's already reached it's terminal gravity it will need to have more fermentables added to carb it up. And yes, it definitely needs a champagne bottle or stopper.

I haven't measured the specific gravity. Don't have a hydrometer. The website I found the recipe on didn't mention it but I have seen it done elsewhere. This is literally my first batch and I'm clearly new to this. I ended up buying a couple air locks but was initially going to use a balloon as I was kinda flying by the seat of my pants. School me please.

BTW this is nothing fancy. Grape juice concentrate, sugar, yeast and water.

Can I use champagne stoppers with regular wine bottles?
