Default corn syrup

I was wondering does anyone ever use corn syrup for sweetness?? It seem like a person could use the light cornsyrup as it shouldn't change color in wine.

I use it Eddie, but I still, also, use white sugar. I like to use light corn syrup, like you said does not change color and it gives the wine some really good mouth feel but the sugar level if very low in the corn syprup so I use regular sugar was well, one bottle of light corn syrup to a 5 gallon batch and regular sugar to bring sg up to the desirable level.

I've used it too, But as mentioned above you can't get the SG right using it alone.
