Selection from thebrewshop.com
Selection Original and International Series

Made by  Wine Expert in Canada. These, we think, are some of the best homebrew wine kits in the world.

The original range contain some of the classic home made wines. They contain 15 litres of concentrated grape juice and it makes 24 litres/30 bottles of wine. So, the grape juice is not concentrated too much unlike the cheaper kits. This keeps all the delicate flavours and bouquet that are often missing in home made wines.

The International range names the country of origin of the grape juice, so a Chilean Chardonnay comes from? Yep! Chile!

 All 30 bottle/ 5 Gallon  kits

These wines contain 15 litres of juice, and it's all grape concentrate!.If you're looking for the best in winemaking it's right here!

Chianti Red 30 Bottle

!

Years ago we loved the bottles of Chianti in the straw baskets, we still love the wine. The baskets seem  to have gone but the wine is as good as ever

MAde in the Tuscay region of Italy, It's blended from several grapes to give a full, dry character and elegant flavours of cherries and blackberries. Sturdy and robust,slightly spicy and tangy undertones.  Improves well with age nd develops an intensity that's missing on the young wine.

Vieux Chateu De Roi Red 30 Bottle

!
40600001-1

It means "Old Castle Of The King" A bit like Chateua Neuf!

We like to keep a few bottles back and drink it when it's over six months old

Surprisingly full bodied with a softness that means it matures quickly!, You'll always see someone in a French supermarket pulling the Chateau Neuf off the shelf and checking the label. It's one of the favourites!   Blended by Wine expert to give a complex flavour with several varieties of grape each contributing to the layers of aroma and flavours that make this so special. Complex and full of character, yet  ready to drink quickly!

Luna Rossa Red 30 Bottle

!
40600001-1

It means Red Moon, We like to think it's full bodied like a blousy, dusty, red, Italian summer evening..

We Love it!

Full bodied and exciting: Winexpert's 'Big Red' is the largest, most intense red wine available to the home brewer!  Dark, with an inviting colour and plenty of oakiness on the nose. It hints at the flavours!   Plenty of  mouth-filling, fruity berry Taste. Luna Rossa is  complicated with fruit and tannin capped by the long oak finish. A powerful wine with exciting flavour,    aromas with elegance and finesse.

Cabernet Merlot 30 Bottle Red

!
40600001-1

Lots of people in the shop like this blend, especially if they've got a bit bored with the plain Cab Sav. It makes your wine a bit more interesting!

The Cab Sav can be strong and raw, the Merlot can be an underachiever. Combine the two for the best report card! The thought of a blend frightens some people off, these two work perfectly together, like Morecambe and Wise or... Try it!

Luna Bianca White 30 Bottle

!

It means, White Moon, It get's a few laughs in the  shop when we tell people, we don't know why...

It's a big full bodied white and we love it!!

The biggest flavoured white we do!. Like some full-bodied Chardonnays  Australia which develop their flavours from lots of heat and sunshine., Luna Bianca is lush, golden and rich. Dense and luscious, the  bouquet springs from the glass and meets you before you even taste the wine. Think of tropical fruits and vanilla,   the finished wine is high in alcohol and full bodied! It Includes an F-pack with pure Chardonnay juice - another industry first.

Piesporter White 30 Bottle

!
40600001-1

We find the commercial piesporters a bit light and over sweet, this one's full bodied and medium dry! It's an excellent white wine and don't be put off by it's supermarket cousins.

When we persuade people in the shop to try it they always come back for more. We like it very cold. It don't half go down fast though

The town of Piesport in the Mosel-Saar-Ruwer wine region has an ideal steep amphitheater site perfect for producing sound, honeyed, delicate wines. 

Comes with F pack and some dried elderflowers.

South African Pinotage Red 30 Bottle

!
40600001-1

 

There's not many South African wines available to the home brewer which is a shame.

It's intense and fruity with a pepperiness that is overlaid with the plumminess you expect.

There's the black and red berries of the big reds but a bit more, it says banana in the book. There is something but I couldn't place it, it's a big berry  flavour with a lot of subtle flavours in there..
