First you need 4-6 lb of blackberrys per gal of water, looks like you have made just a light purple alcohol, not blackberry wine. You can go through a year long process but I dont think you will be able to get any fruit flavor from this, As far as something quick try apple cider but it will still be 14 days.

I found this you can try

* 1 gallon apple cider
* 1 lb honey
* 1 teaspoon yeast

Directions

1. Other items you'll need: Stock pot, stirring spoon, 1 gallon glass jug, rubber stopper with hole for airlock (available from your local home-brew shop), Airlock (also available from your local home-brew shop), enough bottles to hold one gallon of your cider (screw top bottles that have already held carbonated beverages are ideal.).
2. Pour about half of the cider into the stock pot and heat to 80°.
3. Stir in honey and continue to stir until honey is completely dissolved.
4. Remove from heat.
5. Cool the cider to 75°.
6. Funnel warm cider into 1 gallon glass jug.
7. Add enough of remaining cider to fill jug (with 3 or 4 inches of space left at the top.).
8. Add yeast.
9. Place stopper and airlock on jug.
10. Let the jug rest in a cool dark place for approximately a week.
11. Fill screw top bottles with cider, then let sit for 2 or 3 more days in that same cool dark spot. Till they get hard.
12. Refrigerate and drink!
