is there a way to add a bit more 'body' to this wine? I know its only a juice wine and really needs grape sinks, but is there a way to substutie this?

Bob or someone with more experience then me might be able to help you better - but I would have said maybe try adding a white grape juice concentrate will help to give the wine a bit more body.
Young's make them and you should be able to buy them here.

Grape skins have no place in this wine, and it can't easily be made into something much bigger really, that would need to be a different wine from the start.Originally posted by robbo79 View Post
If you want a bigger white, start with 1 litre grape concentrate per gallon, this will give you a bigger base wine....
hope that helps

iv just bottled a variant of #1.. using 2 white grape and 2 apple and topped up to halfway between shoulder and neck of dj with water to allow for any foaming.. after a day or so i topped up to bottom of neck with grape juice and fermented to 1000..
i did not de gass ,stabilised sulphited and then left to clear the normal way..any topping up at rackings was with water..
turned out very nice indeed..
