The Solomon Grundy Platinum Wine Kit Range represents the premium tier of the Solomon Grundy family — producing rich, full-flavoured wines with the complexity and finish you'd expect from a considerably more expensive bottle. Each kit makes 30 bottles using high-quality grape concentrate selected for maximum varietal expression.
Available in seven classic varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Shiraz, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, and Rosé.
Platinum vs Gold vs Classic
The Platinum range is the top tier in the Solomon Grundy family. Compared to the Gold range, Platinum kits use a higher-grade grape concentrate that delivers noticeably more body, structure, and depth of flavour. The result is a wine that compares favourably with bottles costing several times more in a supermarket.
What's Included
Each kit contains premium grape concentrate, yeast, finings, stabiliser, and step-by-step instructions. Add water and a small amount of sugar. Everything for fermentation and clearing is provided.
What Equipment Do You Need?
A 23-litre fermentation vessel, airlock, hydrometer, siphon, and 30 bottles. If you're new to home winemaking, our wine starter kits bundle all the essentials together. A good sanitiser is non-negotiable — it's the most important factor in producing clear, clean-tasting wine.
How Long Does It Take?
Fermentation typically takes 5–7 days at 18–22°C. After clearing with the included finings, the wine is ready to bottle. Drinking quality is good immediately but improves significantly with 3–4 weeks of bottle conditioning — the Platinum range rewards patience.
Cost Per Bottle
At £35.95 for 30 bottles, that's around £1.20 per bottle — exceptional for a wine of this calibre.
