Why does bottled fruit ferment, or become mouldy?—Because over-ripe or bruised fruit has been used. Because the bottles are not air-tight, or because they are stored in a dam! or too warm place. Bottles should be watched, and if they show the least sign of cloudiness, they should be opened and the water allowed to drain off.
