Anybody sweeten with Splendia before?

[parrothead]

Thinking about trying it on some strawberry wine this year {after fermentation}. Just wanted to know if anybody has tried this with any sucesss, THANKS!

I have tried it on very dry wines and it yielded a temporary fix to make someone else's wine tolerable. I've only used it a glass at a time, i haven't tried back-sweetening with it because I'm not going to risk messing up a whole batch. I'm okay with plain old sugar for that.

Don't know that the cost would be much difference from buying wine sweetner

I have not actually done it myself but know a guy who uses it because his wife has a problem with sugar (diabetic I belive) I have tried his wine though and found it to be quite good.

Be sure to add sorbate prior to splenda addition. While it is considered an unfermentable sugar, it will break down over time into fermentable sugars. According to the manufacturer.

I know a woman who is diabetic and uses Splenda exclusively to backsweeten her wines.
