...bottles of juice that state that they are 100% pure juice. This is not be confused with real grape concentrates you can buy on-line.
By searching the threads, I have come up with the following brands:
Welches Niagara white grape concentrate
Wlches Grape Peach
Welches Red Grape
Old Orchards Apple-Strawberry -Kiwi (old orchard?)
Dole: Orange Strawberry Banana
Langers Grape
I have no problem searching around stores. Where I live, I have all the usual big chains including Costco, Whole foods, Trader Joes, Fresh and easy and a host of health food stores "however; what should I look for on the label?"
The word "organic" as an example can be very misleading. I found this out quickly when I was making cheese.
Beyond the obvious that I would want 100% pure juice,
Some of you posted that most bottled juices that are not refrigerated have sorbate. Frozen one tend not to have sorbate?
I have never tried making wine from concentrate juice from a brand such as langers because as soon as I bring it home, someone snaps it up to do what else--JUICE!
So again, I pose the question: what concentrates or brands of juice should I consider .
Secondly, what am I looking for on the label to lead me to use it or not to use it.
Lastly, If anyone of you are wondering why do I want to buy out the stores of all the juice, someone on another thread stated it nicely(you will forgive me If I cannot find their forum name.)
"I think it's a good idea for new winemakers who need to develop their skills and get hands on without spending a lot of money on grapes or fruits and having a bad result due to lack of experience with the basics."
Happy Trails!
