    RJ Spagnols Cru Select - Australian Cabernet/Shiraz/Merlot

    This wine was "rough" until recently (10 months after bottling) and now it is one of my favourite reds I've ever had. I have to pour it through this to really take it to the next level though. Delicious!! Notice the fancy wine glass :) Sent from my iPhone using Wine Making

    Just plain old children's glue stick. After cutting them out I laid them upside own on another larger piece of paper so I could ensure I got glue stick all the way to the edges without getting it all over the table then stuck them on.

    Thanks guys. So I guess everyone is in agreement that adding sugar prior to stabilization will result in more alcohol and not a sweeter wine as the instructions would lead you to believe? I just like to get an understanding of how things work so I know how to tweak things in the future to...

    Blackberry juice concentrate from homewinery.com

    I was reading the instructions that were on the website and one thing that confused me was the suggestions for the amount of sugar added to control the sweetness. Wouldnt this only change the final alcohol content if its added prior to stabilizing?
