Adding Grape juice to a wine kit

[druid1966]

That was my thought, and I seem to remember reading that somewhere. I haven't had any problems....and I would think the sulphites on the raisons would keep much of that at bay anyhow.

Old timers like myself often (nearly allways) add rasiens the flavour is delicious

Somewhere I have an old (1960s) wine making book from the UK ( Im in Canada) and they suggested it. Another interesting "tweak" was to add (or make ) Ribena to your wort to add another layer of flavor. I made Ribena wine a few times. Left to sit it can be very nice.

After soaking i chop or even run them through a blender then pasteurise.

I really,really like the flavour they add.
However i dont use them in kit wines,Only stronger "country" wines.I dont have any special reason for it, I just dont.
