Wine making can be very interesting if you know how to experiment with different flavors. However   how to make a wine sweeter can sometimes be very tricky. As sweetening the wine, after its fermenting, if not done properly can spoil the entire taste of the wine.

For making the wine sweeter, you’ll have to first choose a sweetener. There are many options for sweeteners available in the market. Some of them are-

Cane sugar- Using cane sugar is the best and easiest way to make your wine sweeter.

Corn sugar- it is slightly less sweet than cane sugar, but gives the wine a crisp and neat flavor. Mostly used in white wines or delicate and lighter wines.

Rice Syrup: Adds a minty flavor to the drink. It makes a perfect choice for an apple wine or Sauvignon Blanc.

Honey: Honey is also effective when it comes to sweetening a wine; especially raspberry honey is used to make raspberry honey sweet.

Wine Conditioner: It is heavy sweet syrup with a stabilizer already added to it.

Juice Concentrates: Juice concentrates can also be added to make wine sweeter.

How to make wine sweeter to taste-

  1. Take your preferred sweetener and potassium sorbate.
  2. Take the wine that you want to make sweeter. Add the preferred sweetener into the wine.
  3. Make sure you add the sweetener after the fermenting of the wine is complete.
  4. Add potassium sorbate or any other stabilizer to the wine. 1/2 tablespoon of stabilizer is required for every gallon of wine.
  5. The stabilizer is added so that no further fermentation in the wine takes place.
  6. If the stabilizer is not added, the wine may ferment again, making it dry tasting again; the bottle can explode due to fermentation pressure.

The wine will be sweeter to taste now.
