Tips for Best Results
- The F-Pack carries the fruit flavour and sweetness — add it at the end, never at the start
- Island Mist wines are made to be drunk young and served chilled
- Prefer more strength? Add 450g of sugar at the start to lift it to around 9.5-10% ABV
- Let the wine clear completely before bottling
