    Vacuum Transfer Wine Pump Giveaway

    I follow you on twitter (as gibbylet, that looks like a great product, I must say my transfer process tends to get a bit messy!

    WineXpert Shiraz/Grenach/Mourvedre

    Thank you for the update! I started a cellar craft GSM, I think so far it is the wine that's showing the least promise I've made, so I may try the WE one after all.

    Problem with Ferrari Vinator assembly

    Hey, hopefully I can get this figured out before somebody answers, but I am not feeling very optimistic. I ordered a Ferrari Vinator, and am having trouble with two aspects. I found a forum post elsewhere that had a short video on how to assemble it (as it comes without instructions). It seems...

    WineXpert Does a Stag's Leap Merlot kit taste like...storebought? Dry Creek Valley Chardonnay?

    I was lucky enough to win a "Buy one get one free" wine kit coupon from winexpert.com for their LE releases (still going on btw on their website!), and as it includes the Selection Estate series, I thought I may as well splurge so I can try kits I wouldn't normally afford. I was thinking of the...

    RJ Spagnols Hightail limited editions - Canada only?

    Why are these Canada only? That just makes me want them more! Are they really good quality? I might be tempted to drive over the border if they are amazing, just to say I did.

    Mosti Mondiale Quandary! All Juice bucket or All juice master's edition kit

    Edit: after a lot of searching I have found a post discussing this on the finevinewines forum dated back to 2007 which talks about the differences in the two, so I haven't made up my mind yet but now I feel I have the information I need! Choices are: Mosti Mondiale All juice Amarone juice...

    Considering purchasing grapes, not sure if it makes sense.

    Thank you for the advice, I just got so excited at all the varieties! I will wait til next year, i am thinking now it might be easier to find fresh grapes locally than I thought it would be with all the wineries up north. Probably still won't buy a press due to space limitations if I can avoid...

    Considering purchasing grapes, not sure if it makes sense.

    I just bottled the first fruit wine I made today, just started my 4th kit (one ready to drink), and have made gallons of welch's, dole, and tea/flower wine (none ready to bottle yet) to play around with what would be fun or good to make. I had not planned on doing fresh grapes because I don't...

    RJ Spagnols Missing ingredients in wine kit? (grand cru international barolo)

    Hey there, I am trying to figure out if there are some things missing from my wine kit or the instructions just are not very well written. I have a Grand Cru International - Italian Barolo Wine Kit Instructions list what is included in the kit and it lists the chemicals, and then it has an...

    WineXpert Shiraz/Grenach/Mourvedre

    Thanks for the information, I'd love to try this kit after having my first Mourvedre in NM a few months ago. I'll probably wait until you update after opening that bottle :h

    WineXpert Anyone Try Twisted Mist Yet?

    I know you posted this awhile back but I was looking at them on high gravity at http://www.highgravitybrew.com/productcart/pc/Twisted-Mist-c332.htm I am in the middle of an island mist riesling though so wanted to see how that turned out before I tried another not quite wine kit.

    Is there a bung that fits a standard wine bottle?

    Thank you! Now I have an excuse to make another order ;)

    I suppose I may as well!

    My mother and stepfather started making wine several years ago, and I was surprised at how good they were. After talking about how I was going to make wine for a couple of years my husband figured it was time for me to actually get around to it and bought me a starting wine kit last Christmas...

    Is there a bung that fits a standard wine bottle?

    I was looking for this information because so far two of the wines I have made have had about half a gallon of wine left over that is sitting in gallon containers that I will use to top off the main later if needed. That leaves half a gallon of air sitting in there, which isn't good, as well as...

    My wine making room and cellar

    I have to say I am so envious! What a wonderful set up. Suppose I'll have to wait until I move to even think of such a great wine making room, great job!
