How Much Sugar is In Wine? Do Wineries Add Sugar? All Your Sugar In Wine Questions Answered!

Today I want to discuss a question (or maybe a myth) that wine, sweet wine is particular, is made using the addition of sugar from another source, cane sugar, beetroot or corn sugar or else. Is that true? Is this a reality in the wine world... or just a conspiracy theory?

So how much sugar is in wine, really? Do wineries add sugar? (You may have heard of "chaptalization")...

How is sweet wine made? How do big commercial wineries get the sticky-sweet wine you can buy at the grocery store? Is wine healthy, or full of nasty sugars?
