increase wine alcohol level

[Miti]

hi .
I made my wine with good taste and color and i bottled ( about 11% vol ) .
i am going to increase my wine alcohol level in some bottles up to 22% for an alcohol party
with some friends (too bad i know).
can i add vodka or something else into my wine ? how long i can store those bottles and how much can i increase ?
i am going to distill muddy wine left over at the bottom of carboy and use that to increase my wine alcohol. is this a good idea ?

It is illegal in the US to distill unless you are properly licensed to do so. Discussing distilling is not permitted on the forum.

As far as fortifying your wine with vodka or a neutral spirit, go for it. You may need to offset th e increased alcohol with additional sweetness. Me personally, I would leave it alone and offer ykur friends a vodka and orange juice.
