Using Splenda before bottling

[pcurtsinger]

Has anyone tried using Splenda (made from sugar) to sweeten their wine, right before bottling?


If so, did it work? Did it affect the taste any? Were there any bad results?


Any replies are appreciated. It is almost bottling time!

See the following post on just this matter. Look at Dean's reply.

Jack Keller's article is valid for Splenda but not necessarily forother options.It would not be equitable to rule alternative sources like Stevia, which I have used without negative outcome, yet.


If you use too much you will get a Licorice<?amespace prefix = o ns = "urnchemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /> taste. I think the mix is 500 to 1. I have notes someplace on it if interested.

Thanks. I'm very interested in your notes. Would like to reduce the caloric intake as much as possible without losing the taste. I look forward to reading your notes.
