Welcome spwite, sweetening a wine when done is very easy. Just make sure the wine is stable by verifying it three days in a row with no sg change and then you can add your sulfite and sorbate. After do this just give it a few days to make sure those agents are thoroughly blended in to your wine and then you can sweeten your wine with either a wine conditioner sold in wine making supply stores even better and cheaper is a simple solution whih consists of 2 cups of sugar to 1 cup of boiling water until the sugar is dissolved. Then cool and add to your wine to taste but its also a good idea to use your hydrometer here also to know for future reference about where you like some wines sweetened to.
