Maximum sugar without choking fermentation?

The $85c Champaign yeast to start a batch of "hooch" is a by far better investment than the bakers yeast. Experience has taught me many lessons

I agree on the champagne yeast. It is alcohol tolerant up to perhaps

18%.

If all you are looking for is high alcohol, try the turbo yeast made for home distillilation. It's VERY alcohol tolerant.

Don't expect a smooth wine if you jack up the alcohol content, though. It will have a bite that doesn't belong to wines.
