Topping Wine in Carboy

[WorldTravelingJoe]

I have read where I don't need to leave a lot of head space when I move to a carboy. Do I just top it with spring water? I have a good alcohol level and don't want to water it down. This is actually my 2nd vessel, the first is COMPLETELY full. This 2nd one is a 1 gallon that is 90% full.

THANKS for your help.

Since you seem to be talking a small quantity, I would top-up with a cheap store bought "like or compatible" wine vs. water. Flavor and alcohol will not suffer..

If your 1 gallon low is a five gallon carboy, I'd move to smaller jugs, say a three and a one. If you are talking 10 or more, then I agree with floandgary.
