I wanted to get a less expensive red wine kit for my brother in law for christmas. He is a red wine drinker and likes to drink for his house wine carlo rossi paisano. Has anyone tried any of those really cheap wine kits ($45-$60) and had any decent results. We have a $50 limit on gifts. Thanks

Please check out my new idea on bottling. I have only tried it with water so far but I think it may be an easy way to bottle. I was thinking I could have twelve bottles in a case and have my hose set up with twelve stoppers and do a case at a time. It seems to take a little over one minute...

I am new to wine making and wanted some opinions on racking. I am making wine from fresh juice. I am using 5-gal glass carboys and have already done my first racking after about two weeks. My question is how many times do you normally rack and at what time intervals. I did a search on the...
