Glycerin is a natural part of the winemaking process. It gives
the wine some body and provides the "legs" you see after tilting a
glass. It is also sweet and provides a warming sensation.
Recently I discovered that adding between 1-2 fl.oz. of glycerin /
gallon smoothed out a white wine to where it was drinkable at
bottling!
Recommend starting with 1 fl. oz, then adding 1/2 oz if necessary,
rather than dumping it in all at once. Available at a
pharmacy. It says for external use only; has a laxative effect if
you take too much.
I've only tried this on a white table wine.
