I think I posted a topic about this a while ago, but after a couple different searches I couldnt find it so alas I post anew.
About 6 months to a year ago a place near me opened up that allowed you to make a kit wine at thier location. You would go in, choose what kit you wanted, start it in the primary with them. They would take care of the fermentation and the rackings, when it was time to bottle you came back, bottled the wine with them. You made your labels there and labeled the bottles and took them home.
Well they shut shortly after they opened, before I got a chance to get there. Well I talked to someone today who actually made some wine there.
He made 6 gals, 30 bottles of some french ice wine. They ended up charging him $355 (before tax) for the service. Ends up the guy who owned the place shut it down because he decided to go to medical school instead.
Just wanted to see what you guys thought of this idea (Im not starting one just thought it would be interesting to share.)
