I've used granulated Splenda (it was sitting in the back of my cupboards unused after an Atkins fad).
I brewed a hippy juice to mainly practice back-sweetening. This is what I discovered.
So I would definitely recommend practicing with an experimental WOW or hippy juice to discover how much is enough. But this has made a real difference to my wines, before I just drank the dryest ones with lemonade!

- Splenda is very good in this instance as it did not leave an aftertaste (which I had expected).
Go easy with it. I put in 4 teaspoons into a DJ and it ended up medium-sweet, a bit too sweet for me.
It's better to not put in enough than too much, you can't take it out once you've put it in.
I was very pleased that I had practiced before tampering with my apple wine.
