Default Wine Sweetening

Well, finally after 2 freeze and thaw cycles my plum wine from last summer
has cleared. Due to late rains last year the fruit was high in water, low
in sugar and high in acid. I will need to sweeten it up a little.

Any recommendations on what to use? Table sugar, corn sugar?

Mainly a beer brewer here but do have plans of making some more this year.

I am just waiting for the plums to become available at the local city market.
