Just made this for my first attempt and am very happy with the result. Having read some of the reviews of this kit I can only agree it's sweeter than I thought it would be and light almost like a rose.
Anyway I'm going to make one of the more expensive kits next so I'll keep you posted

£20 but somehow I only managed to make 21 bottles not the 28 stated it makes. I think I might have been a bit hesitant with my syphoning

ahah.. Got the bug then. Excellent. I think you will find a more expensive kit VASTLY superior to the Wilko stuff. Depending on your palate of course. Kenridge, Beaverdale, California Conn are good places to start. My favourite is Beaverdale, especially their Pinot Noir. . I get them in pairs from Creative Wines. ( Avoid postage etc ) Excellent Service and best price. I will certainly not buy a Wilko kit ever again. :no: . No comparison.
 
Nice one. Actually got my eye on beaverdale Nebiollo for my next go. Do you know how long the take typically

I agree with Vinotinto, the Beaverdale and CC kits are worth the extra money and in a different class. I also by two or three kits at a time from Creative Wines and can confirm their customer service is excellent having had one or two issues with couriers, emails responded to within minutes even out of business hours.

Nebiollo is good too. They usually take around 3 weeks from start to bottle. I often leave them longer after clearing when being lazy. The last one I did took 15 days only. Just make sure it is finished before proceeding with stabilising. Degas properly. Suggest a drill driven wand. Clearing only takes a couple of days too.
