Panela instead of sugar.

[StoneArcher]

Has anyone used panela instead of sugar in their wine? Just curious to see.

Panela IS sugar.

Thanks Doc. lol. No doubt Panela is what our white granular sugar is refined from most of the time. A quick wiki will no doubt unearth the connection. Just like beets. But, I don't think most folks are substituting their sugar for beets.

Let me rephrase the question:

Does anyone use Panela in place of white granular sugar in their recipes for winemaking?

I haved used some in addition to reg white suger. It was more a matter of the suger block taking up cupbord space and being a bother to use for reg cooking. As well as no longer being able to eat it unfermented. The broken up lump disolved in the must. No off flavors or issues with the resulting wine.
If you were to use a lot or all panela your wine would get more of a brown suger flavor then the nutral white suger flavor.
