Is the wine supposed to turn to jelly when you add gelatine?

It will all settle out, eventually, especially if you put it somewhere cool, you may find that the wine soesnt taste as good after finings, I like to just leave it to settle out on its own

Fining was invented by the French and utilizes EGG WHITES that would be poured onto the top of the wine via the bung hole, it would spread out horizontally at first and then it would start to go down to the bottom while taking any particulates with it, leaving the rest of the wine clarified or clear. Never use gelatin, as you found out. Originally, 6 egg whites per 55 gal barrel were used. You can do the math.

Remember the stawberry jelly you used to eat when you were a kid? The main ingredient in that was... gelatine. Gelatine turns things into a gel or a set jelly. The name kind of gives it away.

That's what gelatine does, you silly!
But congratulations on being possibly the first person to make white wine jelly! Now, vodka jelly, I know that one"s been done before!

Gelatine is used to make jellies so it would appear that it has the same effect even on alcohol. Maybe you could make wine jello shots! (Although I think these are better with vodka!)

That's what gelatine does, turning fluids into jelly.

Ignore the ignorant who have no appreciation for the fine art of making wine/beer/spirits.
You may have put a little too much. It should be clumpy. You will need to wait a little bit longer than normal for it to settle out, but it will not affect the taste or the quality of the wine.
