Answers:
A hydrometer will float higher in a heavy liquid giving a lower reading, such as one with a quantity of sugar dissolved in it, and lower in a light liquid, such as water or alcohol!.
Therefore the specific gravity goes down with sugar!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

if you mean down as form 1!.100 to 10!.20 etc, to make the wine stornger then put in more sugar, but if oyu wan tit weaker add more water!.

Be patient!. As the yeast converts the sugars to alcohol, the specific gravity will drop!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
