Ash,

What's most likely causing the color change is light. Beet wine loses its red color when exposed to light, so as soon as you've mashed the beets and boiled them, make sure you do the fermentation in a vessel that's not clear. Then bottle the wine in very dark bottles. As long as there's no light reaching the wine, it should stay red. Also, beet wine really needs to age for a year, or two, to lose its earthy flavor. I found this info by searching on Google for beet + wine + color. I found a lot of discussion and recipes for beet(root) wine.
