Glycerine - Added to wine to give it more body. Glycerine increases the wine's mouth-feel giving it a fuller, more pleasant texture. Glycerine also smoothes over some of the harsh characteristics that are prevalent in most younger wines. Perfect for taking any wine and turning it into a big, macho red. Glycerine can also be used in cordials to enhance their body. | E. C. Kraus Home Wine and Beer Making Supplies
