This is where the wine making kits come in. Over the course of the year the cost of wine adds up. We have friends over and a bottle would be drunk in that one night. We would end up buying say, 2 bottles a week and at a minimum that would set us back £10 for some ok wines or up to £14 – £18 for more premium bottles. Yet my lovely wife prefers wine and I’m partial to a glass as well. I occasionally venture into other drinks and liqueurs but I’d say 90% is beer. If I show you the process though it might change your mind. You might have the same reaction as me believing that the wine isn’t going to be that good, so you aren’t going to bother getting a wine kit.

I wanted to write about the process of making a wine kit because I really think they turn out well. The Rosé is what I’m making right now and as I write this it’s conditioning and maturing in my wine rack. I have got though a couple of Reds, a White and now a Rosé. I was dubious of using them at first thinking that the wine would be inferior to what I could buy at the shops.
