Default k Sorbate

Hey, I'm a dry wine guy. But, have a batch of White Zin I made for the
ladies and will sweeten it a bit. I want to use the least amount of K
Sorbate to prevent refermentation as I can taste it in wines. I only have 5
gallons, directions call for 1/2 teaspoon per gallon, but I prefer to weigh
my additives. Anybody want to take a shot at the lowest level in
grams/gallon ??? Should say, the sugar level I add will be just to the
sweetness threshold, under 2%, more like 1%. Don't use kits but know they
call for 6.5 grams per 6 gall batch. What could the minimum be?
