Hi.... I too have noticed low SG in red wine kits.....as alcohol vapor
would carry with it aroma, would it not follow that if you jacked up
the Sg a bit then one might get a tad more nose from a kit wine that
already suffers in this regard?.....last month I added enough sugar to
put a Grand Cru (Hearty Red Zin) up to 12.5-13%....i do notice a lot
of lees though....perhaps a bit more than normal.....i expect i'll
lose 2-3 bottles from the looks of it.....andy j.
