Hi everyone,
I've been making some plum wine, but there isn't enough of the wine to fill my demijohns:
I don't have a smaller container to put these in. I'd estimate I need around 600-700ml to full these 2 demijohns. .Left demijohn is 1.9 litre, right is 5 litre.
I've been reading about how to top-up.

One suggestion is to add a combination of water and vodka, to ensure that the alcohol content isn't diluted. I can't add pure water as I'd estimate it needs at least 450ml of water to top up. Which is recommends only adding 1 pint (568ml) per 5 gallon. As this is only 1 gallon, I need to potentially add vodka.
It also recommends adding a similar wine. I do have some home-brewed California cabernet sauvignon, which is quite a dry, red wine. Haven't had much luck finding suggestions online on what to combine with plum wine.
What do you believe is the best liquid or solution to topping up these 2 demijohns?
Thanks.
