How to Make a SWEET WINE at Home, Without Exploding Bottles

Have you ever sweetened a wine, only to find your corks blowing off weeks later? In this video, we will discuss how to sweeten a wine at home, the right way. Sweet wines are often cold crashed, or stalled to retain sugar or they are back sweetened. The wine example that we will use here is a Cabernet Sauvignon Rosé that is back sweetened. This small batch wine was pulled off of the skins of a larger batch from Lodi, California. This same sweetening method can be used for fruit wines, meads, or any other wine, like Concord or wines that are typically sweet.
