What Equipment Do You Need?

This kit is ingredients-only. You'll also need a 23-litre fermentation vessel, airlock, hydrometer, siphon, and 30 bottles. New to home winemaking? Our Cellar 7 Equipment Starter Kit bundles all essentials together. Always sanitise with VWP or ChemSan.

Upgrading your yeast

For a soft, fruity red like this, try Mangrove Jack's CR51, bred specifically for light, fruity reds meant for early drinking. If your fermenting spot runs cold over winter (an unheated garage or utility room, often under 15°C), Lalvin EC-1118 is the more reliable choice, as it won't stall in the cold.

Good quality grape juice at a good price, working out at £1.30 for a finished bottle of wine. In 10 years of brewing I've never had a fermentation go wrong and I've found very little difference in taste between this kit and other similar or slightly more expensive kits.

Use to be a very good, cheap wine. Hasn't stopped fermenting for over 2 weeks and tastes poorly now.Won't buy again, will stick with Beaverdale and Winexpert, bit more expensive but quality wines
