light sweet
chaptalise with 400 grammes sugar
chaptalise with 500 grammes sugar
chaptalise with 600 grammes sugar
Even better than sugar, is to add Liqueur Base, 3 ml equals 1 hydrometer degree in 1 litre of wine.
Grape juice is excellent for adding sweetness and imparts a more fruity flavour. 3 ml of grape juice adds 1 hydrometer degree in 1 litre of wine.Example: 20 litres of red wine is to be corrected from 10 degrees to 0.
10 hydrometer (with Oechslescale) degrees x 3 ml grape juice x 20 litres = 600 ml.1 kilogram of grape juice is approx. 750 ml.
