Other Topping with commercial wine

[roadpupp]

So as I start to mess with fresh grapes, I am reading about how you shouldn't use the same barrel for fresh grape wine with MLB and kits.

I have understood for awhile that kits wines are NOT designed to go through MLF and can wind up with the geranium smell problem if they get innoculated.

So that makes me wonder about putting a bottle and a half of commerical wine that has likely gone through MLF into my kit wine to top off. Is there a chance it will start MLF? Does the amount of free S02 make this unlikely?

Makes me worry a bit and want to buy marbles or graduated carboy sizes.

If there was a problem using commercial wine a whole bunch of us would be in deep doodoo! Totally safe.

I agree, no problem
