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.

However, excessive sugar crystals can make the wine taste overly sweet or unbalanced, negatively impacting its quality.
What are the main ingredients in making wine?

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.
What is the word for a person who makes wine?

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.
