I'm almost finished making my first batch of Blackberry wine, I've racked it twice and its just about stopped bubbling, I'm excited. One question about this batch, I've read I can add sugar to adjust the sweetness before bottling if I do this do I use camden tablets to stop any futher fermation or do I use something else?
Question #2 I'm starting my next batch of Blacberry wine, while searching for other recipes I noticed several recipes that called for raisins (small amount) to be added to the berry mixture in the fermentation bucket....What purpose do the Raisins serve?
 
Raisins give a weak wine more body. And campden alone isn't enough to stop fermentation.
