Hi!
I replace a couple of litres of water with grape juice when diluting the syrup. I get mine from Lidl or Sainsbury's.
Red grape juice presumably, since the OP asks about Cab Sav? Do they sell white grape juice or can we assume that we're never going to see it again in asda? Such a shame...
Hi!
Didn't check the date of joining of the OP - assumed he had read the posts discussing the paucity of supply of WGJ.

Waitrose still sell white grape juice but they also sell merlot grape juice.

Come to think about it, the real difference between red and white wine is the tannin content, of which there is about 4 times as much. I suspect the reason for the shortage of white grape juice is that it tastes pretty much the same as the red. Dessert grapes are used and most of these are seedless so the tannin content is low. It's cheaper and easier to use both white and red juice and this accounts for the rather pale bland red wines it produces.

Yeah - I got some Merlot grape juice from Lidl last year. Absolutely brilliant! I'll keep an eye open for any more.
