Default Wine...hydrometer/taste question?

I have two DJ's of wine that have been fermenting for a month and a half
and the hydrometer shows 0.100. Has it fermented totally out? It tastes
dry and fizzy. Can I dissolve sugar into it to sweeten or will this start
fermentation again if yeast is still active?

Also, When is the soonest that one can consume wine? Once fermentation has
stopped what is taking place...(what does another month do?...how does it
make it better? ) Appreciate your comments as always!

It might help us to know what kind of wine are you making and have you
racked it?

why do you want to add more sugar?
sweeten it? is it suppose to be sweet?

adding sugar any time will casue more fermentation
its the nature of the animal.

you can add more sugar and prevent any more
fermentation. there is a secret additive that
keeps yeast from budding(basically from having sex)
the magic letter is K look for it

good luck
