I was getting ready to order a kit today and it occurred to me that it could freeze in transport. Has anyone had a problem with this? Would it really be a problem if it did? I am getting an eclipse Cabernet Lodi ranch from midwest supply.

I'd be tempted to hold off a day or two. Looks like we will get a short break here on the east coast later in the week.

I don't blame you for waiting but I don't think it would be an issue. A lot of us use frozen fruit and frozen concentrates. Granted the price for a higher end kit would make me nervous. Midwest supplies is in Minnesota right? Need to look at their weather as well as yours.

Had a pallet of wine kits freeze in shipment when we first opened. not a problem at first but the plastic bags got brittle and cracked. Had a lot of leaking kits.

I am going to throw in a ad for one of our site sponsors. You might want to consider checking with that guy right above me for his cost on that kit. He tends to have a much better price and cheaper shipping than some other places. If it isn't listed on his web site, give him a call or an email.

Yep, Doug has the best prices I've seen on Eclipse kits, among other things.
