But it's a risk i'm whiling to take. ^_^ yeah i'm a nutter, but there wasnt much fermenting taking place as when i transferd them there was no bubbles going through air locks....
So far all the wines i have done have been ok, fingers crossed. but most of my bottles are stored in a shed and also in a fridge.
But you have primed the bottles with sugar based fluid, the ferment may start next month/ six months or next year, you have an exploding hand grenade in a bottle, which may explode in your face.
If you think my advice is dodgy, ask Jim, daab or any other memeber of this forum regarding primed botles. Please take my advise and get them into pressure bottles. :)

Happy brewing

By using a previously used pressure bottle, ie: champaign/ lager or even a used Coke bottle...PET, anything that will with hold the pressure of carbonation.
