Here is a message to home winemakers if you want to make great tasting wine that is similar to commercially made wines: "USE KIT WINES"!!!! Sorry for the "all caps shout out" but I have no other way of making my point.

For years I have been helping people make wine from all sorts of stuff including fresh grapes, blueberries, apples, barley, maple sap, dandelions, beets, you name it!

One of the biggest challenges of getting people to start making wine is trying to convince them that it won't taste like that "god-awful" stuff their Grandpa used to concoct in the basement!

Now, I'm not saying that home winemakers cannot make good wine from scratch but it sure is a lot easier to do with a wine kit.

So why are wine kits so good? As with most things, when starting with high quality ingredients, you end up with good results. The wine kits we carry contain very high quality juice from some of the best grape growing regions in the world.

Australia isn't just known for its kangaroos anymore...they have some great ass kicking grapes to make wine. Our grape juice supplier, Winexpert, has contracted with many vineyards in Australia to obtain a large quantity of grapes to produce some of the finest wine making kits available for the home winemaker. Be sure to check out the wide variety of our Australian Wine Kits.

Here are just a few of the juices we carry:

Australian Chardonnay
Supple and slightly buttery, this wine lingers on the palate with layers of toast and spice. Extremely versatile with foods, this is the 'red wine' of white wines, combining beautifully with grilled pork, chicken, fish, salads and cream-based pasta sauces.

Australian Cabernet Sauvignon
The bold, individualistic style of Australia's winemakers has unleashed the full potential behind the making of red grapes, captured here in our Australian Cabernet Sauvignon. Combines forward fruit flavors of cherry, raspberry and blackcurrant with a tremendous backing of tannin and structure. Rich and polished with a long, layered finish warmly accentuated with oak.

Australian Shiraz
The grape that was made for Down Under - its hot climate perfec for bringing out the best traits in this popular grape varietal. Australian Shiraz is seductively delicious, with startlingly rich, ripe aromas that deliver right through to the full zesty finish. Amazingly, the style allows for polished tannins early, so the young wine is not rough or harsh. The aged version retains the core fruit flavours of plums, cherries and blackberries, but gains extra polish. Pair this Shiraz with flavorful meals!
