With the Orchard kits I usually bump up the alcohol on them to 10-11%.
I do that by adding two to three pounds of corn sugar. The wine turns
out fantastic and has a little more of a kick to it. The peach
chardonnay that I did is going to be a great summer wine to drink
chilled. Hmmmm. Just some info if you want to experiment. I just
don't think a wine is a wine unless it is over 10%.
