Sanitise your fermenter, equipment and bottles first with ChemSan no-rinse sanitiser.
SG Wines Classic 30 Bottle Red makes a light and easy-drinking dry red wine. Classic is the entry-level tier in the Solomon Grundy family — a straightforward, great-value kit perfect for first-time winemakers or regular batches.
What You Get
- Grape concentrate, yeast, finings and stabiliser
- Ferments in 5+ days at 18-22°C
- Makes 30 x 750ml bottles (23 litres)
- Requires 4kg granulated sugar (or 4.4kg dextrose), not included
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
