Sugar occurs naturally in grapes and it gets transformed into 2 things: alcohol (which we want) and CO2 (which we do not want). Yeast transforms sugar into alcohol, therefore the more sugar you have in unfermented juice, the more alcohol your wine will have after fermentation (up to a certain extent). You can measure how much sugar your juice has using a hydrometer.

When does fermentation come into play when making wine?
It turns the sugar in the grape juice in to alcohol. Its one of the first steps in making wine.
What role does pancreas play?
It plays a role for making sugar for our body and we need it in our body in order to have sugar.
Why is yeast is used for making alcohol?
yeast turns the natural or added sugar in the making of a wine or a spirit into alcohol
Does yeast grow faster or slower with more sugar?
Yeast is a bacteria that feeds on sugar, which causes the fermentation process. In the process of wine making, grapes have yeast in the skin and sugar in the flesh of the fruit, the yeast then feeds on the sugar in the flesh fermenting the juice and making the wine.
Can you use instant yeast for making wine?
No, yeast is a living organism (bacteria). If you boil it, you will kill it and it will not transform the sugar into alcohol, making it useless.
What has the author Shirley Ann Noordeloos written?
Shirley Ann Noordeloos has written: 'Effect of sucrose on acid perception in wine' -- subject(s): Sugar, Testing, Wine and wine making, Analysis
Generally which wine has a higher sugar content - red white or rose?
A sweet white wine has the most sugar content. It has about 16grams of sugar. A red wine has no sugar.
Does red wine have sugar in it?
No,red wine vinegar does not contain any sugar.
What is the word for a person who makes wine?
The word you're looking for is vintner(someone that makes and/or sells wines).
Does wine have artificial sweetners?
Typically no sugar is used during wine making. It depends on what the sweetner is to be used for. If it is to sweeten a wine after fermentation then yes it can be used. If the sweetner is to be used as part of the fermentation process then no.
Is alcohol is a prerequisite for making wine or liquor?
Alcohol for wine making is made through the process of Glucose (Sugar) and added yeast. There are products on the market which also make Liquors (15-20% Alcohol) using the same method.
How mayny teaspoons of sugar are in a glass of white wine?
Wine comes from fermenting sugar from grape juice. The sugar content at harvest will determine the potential alcohol of the wine, normally recorded in Brix. The easiest way to determine how much sugar,residual sugar, is left in wine is to calculate the difference of potential alcohol before fermentation and after fermentation. The remaining sugar left unfermented will be the sugar left over in the wine (white or red). Thus, each wine will have a different amount of 'sugar' left depending on winemaking practice and style. It is possible to test the wine for residual sugar, but I feel this question assumes that all white wine has the same amount of sugar; this is incorrect, so this question is too vague to answer.
