It's hard to find data, but I understand that four pints of 5% alcohol beer has fewer calories than half a pint of 40% whisky.

But I do have a major problem if so much is deliberately added that there will be significant excess sugar left over in the final product or, worse still, adding sugar at the end, with the aim in both cases being to convert sour gut rot into something superficially more palatable!

Poor wines in casseroles = poor casseroles. Always use the finest ingredients in any food.
OwlHoot - so far as I know, there are no sweetened wines in the way you imagine.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

And adding sugar at the end is called "back sweetening". Apparently it is usually more trouble than it is worth, because if one isn't careful it restarts fermentation!

Interesting. So buy a bottle of cheap wine, add sugar and it may turn out well...Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

And if you run out of sugar, then diethylene glycol will stand in at a pinch.
