You'll need this kit to test the total acid level of the wine so you will know how much tartaric acid you must add. 2.Know the optimum total acid levels for red and white wines. White wine's optimum total acid level is 0.7 percent to 0.9 percent and for reds it is 0.6 percent to 0.9 percent. 3.Identify the proper amount of tartaric acid to raise the total acidity levels in wine.

The change to acidity after adding tartaric acid will be almost immediate. Retest your wine shortly after your first addition to see if the total acid levels need further adjusting.
