Wine alcohol dilution?

Aug 18, 2004 1 Replies

I have 12 gallons of wine with a 15% alcohol content. If I add 3 gallons of water will the wine then contain 12% alcohol? Thanks, James


Looks right to me, but personally I wouldn't go that far with a dilution.

13% would be my minimum.

You'll need to add acid too if you add water, unless the starting pH was really low.
