I believe that you mentioned adding sugar. Without the sugar does the
wine taste very acidic?

I believe that red wines have tannin and white wines do not and are
more acidic. I have been treating fruit wines that way but other then
the odd lot (just to make you believe that the next one will be
better) they have been rather unsatisfactory. I can't think of a
better word as they don't taste "bad" just not as good as I hope for.
