Wine making kits

Some basic information about wine making kits and what you need to start making your own wine at home from a wine kit.

If you would like to try making your own wine for the first time, or have only made wine once or twice before, then a wine making starter kit is the ideal solution. In fact many people who have made a lot of wine carry on using wine kits for the sheer convenience.

Below we show you some of the many kits there are available and explain some of the differences between them.

We will also talk about some of the basic equipment which you will need to get you started.

Once you have decided on the kit you would like to start with, the links below will take you straight to the right place to buy your wine kit.

So, to get started, one of the first things to decide upon is how much wine you want to make.

Basic starter kits usually come in either a 6 or 30 bottle form. Remember that both cost and storage availability may be important factors here.

Also of course, you need to decide whether you want your first batch of wine to be red, white or rose.

So what do you need, and what comes in the kits?

6 Bottle Wine Starter Kit

Firstly a basic 6 bottle starter kit, shown right, includes all the equipment you need to start making your own high quality wine at home. It includes: -

2 x Fermentation Containers (5L PET demijohn) – For the initial brewing process, includes lid with bung for airlock
Syphon Tube – To transfer the wine
2 x Bubbler Airlocks – Fill with water to let the gasses escape and prevent contamination

Don't forget that with these kits, you will also need your chosen wine mixes, bottles and corks.
