Why did you "Have" to make it on the sweet side. Was this just a preference
you have for sweet wine? I have never made Niagara from fresh grapes but
the dry Niagara I have made from frozen Welch's juice turned out excellent.
Of course, I balanced the acidity and sugar before fermentation. One of
these days I will have to try to make it from fresh grapes. Perhaps the
juice from fresh grapes needs a balancing act before fermentation also.
