Not if the wine has been sorbated. Otherwise, any sugar will cause refermentation.
It should be noted that if you want to put sparkling wine in a bottle, you need to be careful - use the correct bottles, the right corks & remember that the wire cages on champange bottles aren't just for show, they serve a purpose.
Too much sugar, and you might just think you're in a warzone when the bombs start going off.
It can be done, just needs to be done carefully.
I know corn sugar is the best option to prime beer, but i dont know if its best for sparkling wine..

Yes, corn sugar can be used! Below is a link to some instructions on our site.
