    WineXpert Anyone Try Twisted Mist Yet?

    Strawberry Margarita and Mojito. These are from the Island Mist family but more like 11% alcohol instead of 7%. Brand new product. It's been hard to keep in stock. My wife loves the Strawberry. I like the Mojito. Serve ice cold. We're also mixing with fruit juices, soda like the...

    Opinions on Wine Cellar and Coolers

    Wine making needs a consistent temperature around 72. Wine storage needs a consistent temperature. The cooler the better.

    WineXpert wildberry shiraz rocket fuel :(

    I'd bottle it as is, and use it as a base for mixed drink. Soda, Juice, etc. I don't recommend boosting these kits. They will already be more than 5% up to 7%. Like a cooler or Smirnof sp? If you do boost, only use dextrose, it disolves 99.9% compared to others. Instead of boosting -...

    Hello from Wine Making Ontario

    Well, lacking a response here, I went to eBay, the fountain of all consumer demand. Here is the only WX kit I could find. http://cgi.ebay.ca/WINE-MAKING-KITS-MAKES-6-GAL-Vintners-Reserve-/280462562221?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item870aca557a It's a basic VR 10L kit...

    the grape skins in the cellar classic series are generic if I remember correctly and not terroir RJS win more medals only because they have more entries I'd like to see the medals per entry sheet if this can be done you can get RJS anywhere - they sell to every store great brand but...

    The LE Brunello kits are incredible for sure. I still have 8 cases aging from 2 years ago. ;-) That's wild how you changed the yeast and exploded it. I have never had to change the yeast that comes in the kit. Winexpert usually sends the correct yeast to make the kit work perfectly. Once...

    Cleaning dirty Bottle

    As above - elbow grease - brush - hot water. Don't use regular soaps or bleach. Your bottles may look clean, yet the perfumes and film will always be there and will affect your wine. Use food grade cleaning products available from your local wine store. Diversol or brew clean - pink...

    Hello from Wine Making Ontario

    I've considered e-sell, but not yet. 99% of our customers make wine at our location. If it's cost effective for members to order from me with shipping and everything, I'd be happy to offer a deal to the members here. Where are you located? I would assume a US retailer would be better...

    If he's small he wouldn't get an exclusive deal then. Cellar Craft make excellent wines. I bet you could still find some Limited Release if you checked around. I always make as many Limited Edition wines as I can each year for myself. The Italian Brunello is back for April.

    Hello from Wine Making Ontario

    Thanks for the words of welcome. I've browsed around a bit checking things out. Time to get back to filtering. I have 40 wines on my filter list today. The Limited Edition Australian Petit Verdot look incredible. Cheers Brian

    A note about Winexpert exclusivity. The top 4 or 5 wine kit producers all have excellent products. Winexpert is the undisputed overall champion in my opinion. If a store is exclusive to Winexpert it is by choice. Winexpert will only offer this to larger stores that meet their quality...
