Anyone hear of the new kit. They are doing away with the Crushendo kits and doing something else that they say is better. Anyone?

Has anyone made this kit and if so how did you like it. I am thinking this one looks like my next kit, if its good.

My last two white kits I have made both have a smell of Gas. I know both were degassed all the way. I wiped the heck out of each one and used a Mighty Vac too. Both kits are about 8-12 months old. It does smell a little like c02. Anyone got info on this. Once I open the wine and let it...

I just had a bottle two nights ago and the wine is 15 months old, in bottle for 9 months. I would say this sums up the way it tastes: Firm tannins on the palate embraced by concentrated notes of sweet chocolate and prunes. The finish is peppered with layers of dark fruit. I gave a glass...

I just got done making this kit and this is my second time making it. All I can say is wow. George told me about this kit two years ago. I was looking for a white kit that would be ready quick and had good fruit. We drank the first kit between 4-15 months. It was good from the first bottle...

I just got done degassing my wine. Wow, what a pain in the butt. I racked my white wine three times and the wine has been in the carboy for 5 months. Every time I used a drill with a whip for degassing and used it for 3-5 mins each racking. I then put the hand pump Mighty Vac and got the...

I started this kit in Oct 2009 and I just bottled last weekend. I thought this wine was great one month ago, but it shut down last weekend. Has anyone tasted this kit at the 6 month mark and was it shut down? I am just wanting to make sure I did not do something wrong. I know wine does this...

I got a Mighty Vac hand pump. I used it for the past year. It just broke this past weekend. It took me forever to degas my wine. I had to pump and pump for hours to get all the C02 out of the wine. Is there any other way to get the gas out other then pumping? The mighty vac is better then...

I started this kit in March 2009. I just bottled this weekend and was very impressed with this kit. It was still green, but had big black fruit tastes. My friend told me about this wine and I am very glad I made it. Has anyone made the other Winery Series? Thanks

I hit the year end sales and got three Meglioli kits. Two out of the three kits had a little Sticky wine in the bottem of the box. One kit was wet on the liner, but I could not see a hole. Not much if any leaked out as the bag was full. The two that had leaks, also had juice between the inner...

I have done 10 kits and all have been big kits. All of them have been 16 lit or above. I started my fisrt kit 1 year ago. The other ten kits have been made about a month apart. My question is, "When will these be as good at Commercial Wine"? First one was a WE New Zealand Marlborough...

I am looking for a white kit that I can drink for summer. I have made the WE Symphony and loved it, but it took some time for it to get good, 6 months or so. I want good amount of fruit, dry, crisp, and clean. Does anyone have any good ideas?

This was my second wine kit I made last year. Now I have 10 kits under my belt. I bottled this wine on March 16, 2007. I drank my first bottle about six months ago and was not really happy with the taste. There was little fruit and not much smell. Has anyone made this wine and how long...

I hope I did not screw up my batch of wine. It was a WE Wash Merlot and Cab Frac. I was drinking to much wine(Drunk other wine I had) after racking for the third time. I was poring more wine to get it to the 2 inch of the rubber bung. I put to much wine in and the wine was touching the bung...

I have been using Avery Labels for my wine, but they are a pain to get back off when your done drinking the wine! What is another way to put the labels on the bottles that come off easy when your done and want to re-use the bottle.

I have made three WE White wine kits over the past 6 months. Two in bottles and one in the Carboy. I don't know how to discribe the smell, but all of them have a smell to them that won't go away. I am at the Stabilizing and Clearing stage and combined Packet 2 Metabisulphite and Packet 3...

I have done two white wines now and have loved both. I want to try a Chard and want to know from all of you smart wine makers which one is the best.

I sure do love making my own wine.....what a great hobby.

I like them, but the wife loved them. The wine taste pretty good but has a yeast smell to it.

I am looking for my next Red Kit. I have a CC Red Mout. Cab in the primary right now and am wanting the next red. I like most red wines. I like new world over old world. I am going to bottle WE Vin Res Red Zin soon and did not like this wine very much. Way to thin and not enough fruit. Don't...
