Could the preservative in bottled-lemon-juice be what's stopping my wine from fermenting?

It is fermenting, but *slowly*.

I'm hardly a master brewer, but I would guess that the extremely low PH of lemon juice is a less than optimum environment for the yeast to get the job done. Try corn syrup, water, & yeast. Mix & it ferments like crazy. Gotta strain & flavor the end result, though.
