How to Make Wine at Home With Wine Kits

For wine lovers the accessibility of wine ingredient kits is a dream come true. Now you can simply place an order for the wine variety you like from Australian Chardonnay to Italian Amarone and everything in between. Your kit includes all the essentials you will need to get started together with detailed instructions so you can’t go wrong.

You will also need a Wine Making Kit which includes all the 'tools of the trade' and of course some wine bottles and corks to suit.

These days, ingredient kits contain a balance of nutrients, sugars and acids without the need to measure and adjust quantities. They are designed to produce the best possible results with the least amount of effort by the maker. Most suppliers guarantee the results of your labour if you follow the simple instructions carefully.

As soon as your wine ingredient kit and wine making kit arrives at your door it is ready to put into action. The whole process of wine making takes place over 4 to 6 weeks, but the time you need to set aside for the physical work only adds up to a couple of hours. Making wine from a kit is far more time and cost friendly than making it from the crush of your own grapes, and a lot less space is needed as well.

Typically you will get the following items included in your wine making kit:

• Fermenting Bucket
• Airlocks
• Lids
• Hydrometer
• Carboys
• Tubing
• Spoons
• Bottle Filler
• Drilled Stoppers
• Spigot and Sanitizer

All these items are necessary to make home-made wine in the correct way and will ensure great results.

Some serious wine makers will tell you that you need to order a ton of grapes and have a great deal of specialized equipment, available space and lots of time to get a good product. This is absolute nonsense. Anyone living in an apartment or small house has plenty of room available. The wine making process would be started in the kitchen, and the full bottles would just need to be set aside in a spare closet.

Let me give you an indication of how much money you can save. Say you want to make a reasonable quality wine, something like you would buy at the liquor store for around $10 to $14 for a 750mL bottle. By making it at home it will cost you somewhere in the vicinity of .90c to $4.50 for an equivalent wine depending on what brand and style of wine kit you purchase.

Your home made .90c bottle of wine would be equal to an excellent bottle of Merlot or Chardonnay. Your $4.50 bottle of wine would be equal to a top shelf premium wine like a Amarone or Borolo, and it is not uncommon to see these wines for sale at around $30 per bottle. So you can see there is a lot of money to be saved.

You will also notice how your own wines taste so much better than store bought wine.

It’s a good idea to get a variety of wine ingredient kits. Some which are early drinking wines, and others that need to be left alone for aging for a period of 6 months or more. That way you can enjoy tasting your new wines pretty much straight away, while you wait patiently for the fine wines to mature.

The personal satisfaction that you gain from making your own wine is priceless. Start today if you can, you won’t be sorry.
