      Fortification and Amelioration

      To fortify, or ameliorate your wine lot requires a few simple Volume Adjustments.

      • To review how to sweeten wines, please see our article on Sweetening Workflows.
      • To add sugar or concentrate to undeclared juice or must in order to increase potential alcohol, please see our article on Chaptalization.
      • To add water to juice or must (while a juice lot is in tax class Fermenting Juice), please see our article on how to record a water addition.

      Note: Wine, and spirits must be in the correct declared tax class to populate the TTB report correctly. Lots still under the Fermenting Juice class will only affect Part VII of the report.

      This article covers:

      Fortification

      To record the addition of brandy or spirits for fortification:

      1. Record a Volume Adjustment to remove the volume from the wine lot.
      2. Uncheck the box for archiving. You will need this lot to be active for Step 3.
      3. Record a Volume Adjustment to remove the required volume from your 'spirits' lot


      4. Record a Volume Adjustment to add the total volume after fortification

      Don't forget to verify the alcohol content after the addition of wine spirits and change the tax class accordingly.



      Amelioration 

      To add water to juice or must (while a juice lot is in tax class Fermenting Juice), please see our article on how to record a water addition.

      To increase the volume of a finished, declared wine lot due to a water add:

      1. Record a Volume Adjustment to remove the entire fill from the wine lot
      2. (Optional) Record a Custom Action (or assign a Custom Task in a work order)
      3. Record a Volume Adjustment to add the total gallons of the lot after the water addition


      ** Following these steps will report on Page 1, Columns (a), (b), and (c), lines 6 and 21,  of the 5120.17 TTB Report.
