Process

Choose a style of wine you like. Unsure? We can assist you with finding a wine that is suited to your taste.

  • Mix the ingredients and sprinkle the yeast. (The law says you have to!)                                                            
  • Wait 5, 7, 8 or 20 weeks for your wine to be ready.  (The time it takes us to finish it depends on the quality of product chosen)                                                                 
  • Make an appointment to bottle your wine.
  • Bottle your wine and dress it up with our labels and shrinks.
  • Let your wine age.
  • Uncork a bottle, put up your feet, and indulge.

Wine Storage Tips

Here are some wine storage tips to ensure top quality wine:

Do:

  • Store your wine upright for the first 3 to 5 days.
  • After that, store on its side. If you want to store your bottles upright you will need to let us know at bottling and we will use nomacorc corks which do not need to be kept wet by the wine.
  • Store your wine in a cool, dark place.
  • Your wine should be stored where the temperature is CONSISTENT… Bright light, movement, and temperature fluctuations can negatively affect the quality of your wine.

Do Not:

  • Do not constantly turn your wine. Red wines will sometimes dust (leave residue on the inside of the bottle). This is normal. Simply decant your wine.
  • Do not store your wine directly on a cement floor. Put a thick piece of wood under your wine storage boxes.
  • Do not store your wine on heated floors.
