Is it better to mix the Metabisulphate and the sorbate with the 1/2 cup of water or can I mix it with some of the wine reserve and add it back into the wine that way? I have a Vintners reserve ( Liebfraumilch). I am concerned about the taste with the water added so I was thinking that if I'm saving two cups that I could use it to mix these in with. I'm new to this as are a few others and I 've been reading alot of what you all have to say. Very knowledgeable, and thank you.
