Thanks Dean I have been told about the copper rod, which I am get to get the chance to do.  In the mean time though I might aerate then do the copper trick.  Double precautions can't hurt.  Wish I have know about RC212 before I started.  Oh well, live and learn.

Yep,
Mix honey with water and drink up...  :)
Alcohol free wines require reverse osmosis to deconstruct the wine's ingridients (water,alcohol,dry matirial) seperating the alcohol by distillation and bringing the seperate pieces back togther.

If your looking for some fermentation flavour\aromas you can start an active fermentation and quickly stoping it by throwing it into the freezer leaving you with less then 1-2% alcohol,
It must be kept extremly cold or it will referment,an alternative to storing it outside will be to pasteurize.

If you catch H2S quickly you can deal with it before it reduces into marceptan which is suppose to smell like cabbage.
