Hey Wine People -
I havea curious question. I know that the lower end kits - 7.5, 8, & 10 liter kits -add sugar (not sure what kind) to beef up the alcohol which is part of and needed in the wine. And the sugar is added because the grape concentrate is a lower amount than higher end kits. My question is - does that contribute to head aches or hang-overs more so than the fuller body,all juice kits? I know cheap beerand cheap liquorand even cheap wine (like MadDog 20-20 or Boones Farm)can make you feel like hammered dog dodo if you over indulge. I was wondering if the cheaper wine kits do the same.
Really enjoy making wine. On my third batch(a merlot-bottled, a shiraz-I added a lb of raisins to the kit in the primaryand a cab/shiraz-bulk aging). Bought three more kits to make(a shiraz. a cab/shiraz and a chianti).Also, bought a couple of the "Better-Bottles". Love 'em. The are light and easy to clean.
Appreciate any comments or info.
