What You Get

What Equipment Do You Need?

A 23-litre fermentation vessel, airlock, hydrometer, syphon, and 30 bottles. New to home winemaking? Our wine starter kits bundle all essentials. Always sanitise with VWP or ChemSan — this is the single most important step for a clear, clean-tasting wine.

Upgrading your yeast: try Mangrove Jack's CR51, bred for light, fruity, early-drinking reds. If your fermenting spot runs cold over winter (often under 15°C), Lalvin EC-1118 is a reliable fallback.

Tips for Best Results

  • Ferment at 18-22°C for a clean, consistent result
  • Allow the wine to clear fully before bottling — patience here pays off in clarity and taste
  • Condition in the bottle for at least 2 weeks before drinking
  • Serve at room temperature

Also available as a 6-bottle format, or step up to Gold for richer body. Browse all wine kits at BrewCo.
