Even better than sugar, is to add Liqueur Base, 3 ml equals 1 hydrometer degree in 1 litre of wine.

Grape juice is excellent for adding sweetness and imparts a more fruity flavour.

3 ml of grape juice adds 1 hydrometer degree in 1 litre of wine.

Example: 20 litres of red wine is to be corrected from 10 degrees to 0.
10 hydrometer (with Oechslescale) degrees x 3 ml grape juice x 20 litres = 600 ml.

1 kilogram of grape juice is approx. 750 ml.
