Hello, What exactly is Residual Sugar? One of the local wineries we visit gives a residual sugar reading for each of their wines. This gives you an idea of how sweet they are. What I wanted to know is how they measure this? I have a wine that started with 14% potential alcohol by volume. If I add stabilizer when the potential alcohol reaches 2% will that be a residual sugar of 2% and the alcohol content be 12%? Just curious, Tom and Shelley
