my hubby and i make raspberry wine with sugar, and once we fortified it. (dam good too) it turned into a port tho, so now we just make blackberry and red raspberry.... never heated anything either. that blueberry wine sounds good but does the honey make it more sweeter than the sugar does? let me know... thanks feather
what happened to using sugar in wine?

Given the same amount of each, honey will make it less sweet than sugar because honey has a bunch of water in it.The biggest difference you're going to find is that honey adds flavor, while sugar does not.

Mee too feather, I reserve the honey for 1-2 batches that i know are gonna be long aging.I do quite a few sugar based fruit wines myself, the price is usually right on cane sugar. Usually I buy 25 lb sacks for around $10.thanks for the input... i think i'll stick with sugar for a while...
