Wine Conditioner (500 ml

Sweetening Blend for Balancing Homemade Wine Before Bottling

Wine Conditioner is an easy-to-use finishing additive designed to adjust sweetness and improve flavour balance in homemade wine. Made with a blend of sugar and sorbate, it helps sweeten finished wine while helping inhibit further yeast activity, reducing the risk of renewed fermentation after back-sweetening.

Ideal for home winemakers, wine kit makers, and fruit wine producers, Wine Conditioner allows you to fine-tune residual sweetness before bottling. Use it to soften sharp edges, enhance fruit character, and create a smoother, more balanced finished wine.
