How to make it

Sanitise everything, pour in the concentrate and top up with water to the kit's volume. Add the yeast, fit the lid and airlock, and ferment at about 20–25°C. Then stabilise, clear and bottle - it's drinkable in about 4 weeks and improves with keeping. Download the step-by-step guide (PDF) for every step, with troubleshooting. Always follow the kit's own instructions for exact quantities and times.

You'll also need

• Bottles – 30 × 75cl wine bottles: green or clear 75cl wine bottles (box of 12), with quality corks and a twin lever corker, or screw caps.

Make it even better

• Easy Syphon with throttle tap (Large) – handy if your kit asks you to rack the wine into a second vessel
• 5 litre glass demijohns – handy if your kit asks you to rack the wine to clear
• Personalised wine labels – turn your bottles into gifts
• Bordeaux shrink caps – a professional finish over the cork
• Stick-on thermometer – keep an eye on fermentation temperature
