Blueberry Wine

Rob Johnston · Sep 30, 2014

I am just about to bottle some blueberry wine and had a sneak taste the other day only to find out it was very dry, before I bottle it is there anything I can do to sweeten it, or could I drop a carbonation tablet in each bottle.

I wouldn't put a carbanation drop in to wine bottles as they are not designed to hold pressure. Hopefully the corks would just pop out but you could end up with bottle bombs and a big mess to clear up. Your best bet would be to use non sugar based sweetener to sweeten to taste, little by little. If your were to use sugar the yeast will find it and start to ferment again. Let us know how you get on sounds interesting. :)

If you add a stabiliser 1st to kill the yeast you can use sugar

Thanks, have added stabiliser and a little sugar will wait until the weekend now before a taste then hopefully bottling. I just couldn't understand why it should be so dry, as I thought being blueberry it would be quite sweet:thumb:
