If it smells like vinegar then there was plenty of sugar, and you can pull those grapes, strain the liquid and let it ferment some more with the sugar it already has. Grapes might not get moldy since they tend to fall to the bottom of the liquid while most other fruits will come to the top and get exposed to the surface air. That is what my blueberries did so I pulled them after a week. I would think that the fruit would start to get moldy or deteriorate in the vinegar.

I have one question, if you don't mind. What happens if I leave the grapes in longer than the approximately one week you suggest? I didn't read your instructions carefully enough the first time, and those grapes have been in the jar for about 3 weeks now....does it matter? It smells like vinegar... thanks! Amanda Trace–
