Last year I made a batch of La Bodega port to be used as sacramental wine. We've gone through about half of it - using it only on high holy days. The congregation has been very receptive to it, but we have found an issue that was somewhat un-expected. It is far more difficult to get out of altar linens than the standard Taylor Tawny we use for general church use. We had a major feast last week and I brought up a bottle of Gewurz to be used and it went over OK- not as sweet- but my altar guild didn't put a contract out for me.
So here is my question: Is there a straight white port or even ice wine kit out there that doesn't include chocolate or fruit in it? Alternatively, is it possible to sweeten up, use a weaker yeast, and fortify another white kit?
