  No, what are you trying to kill ? At 165 degrees you have killed every thing that will be a
  problem for your wine. The water is clean and sugar is clean there is no reason to boil for an

  It is difficult to dissolve sugar directly. Use the simple syrup, it is much easier to measure
  and use.
