...how long before you can drink [and be able toenjoy] something like the Vinters Reserve Zin? I bought two kits a couple of months ago, and then decided to buy some frozen must. However, I had some family "situations" come up [aged parent broken hip, grandson being born 2,500 miles away] which precluded me from being able to get started on anything and still be around to do the necessary steps. Now, I'm finally ready to start, and since the frozenmust I wanted is gone, I'm back to the kit. Since my wife says my motto should be "Instant gratification is not soon enough", I'm wondering how long from start to drinking?
