Is it actually illegal (in the US I assume) to add alcohol to your
homemade wine?


No, it's definitely not illegal to add alcohol that was purchased (and all
due taxes paid). The only thing that would be illegal is concentration of
alcohol - I believe through distillation AND freeze concentration.
