I made this 30 bottle, 4 week kit back at the beginning of March this year. Purchased from Amazon for the amazing price of £15.66 :shock: :lol: The current price is £62 !! however it's certainly worth keeping an eye on the price of these kits from amazon as the price can fluctuate quite a bit. Worth buying if it slips below £30 in the future.
I followed the instructions, using tap water, and campden tablets when I racked a couple of times, the final gravity reading was 1000, and from my initial notes the fermentation started very quickly.
This kit also included labels, shrinkwraps and corks, I ended up with 28.5 bottles. :party:
Last week we opened the first bottle 4 half months after bottling, this really is a very nice, easy drinking fruity wine and at around 55 pence a bottle an absolute bargain. :lol: :rofl: Certainly compares with a £5 or £6 bottle of Aussie Cab Sauv. :thumb:
Yes I was fortunate to get this at a very low price, however in my mind (and taste) it's certainly a notch or two better than cellar7, and probably on par with the Beaverdale and Cal Con wine kits.
