Glycerol (glycerine) is a finishing additive that gives home-made wine a smoother, rounder feel in the mouth. A small amount softens a thin or young wine and adds a subtle sweetness without restarting fermentation.

Why use it

  • Adds body and smoothness to thin wines
  • Softens the harsh edge of a young wine
  • Gives a slightly sweet, rounded finish
  • A little goes a long way
