can i use high fructose corn syrup (like dr. pepper syrup) to make wine?

Question

i haven't tried to make any wine, but i was wondering if i could use the syrup in soft drinks to make wine, rather than a fruit juice concentrate.

Answer 1

You can use any sugar source to make 'booze'.
Wine, however, must be made from fruit or fruit juice/concentrate.
Dilute your syrup with pure water and add yeast (wine yeast, not bakers yeast) then wait for the bubbling to stop. Yummy prune flavored hootch!

Answer 2

Yeast needs more than sugar for fermentation and fructose is just that, sugar. Soda syrup has a lot of preservatives in it that prevent fermentation.

If you're going to make wine, do it right.

Answer 3

I would think so..maybe you could try it? also just to be sure i would go to GOOGLE
