Lack of white gj in local supermarkets ?

[alan66]

Hi all, I have noticed since returning to brewing the lack or zero presence of white grape juice in Morrisons, Tesco, Sainsburys, Lidl, Asda and such ? I can not find white grape juice in any of the above supermarkets in the midlands ? Any info where to find it locally appreciated.
Thanks

Alan

This has been the case for a couple of years, some members can find it locally others cannot find it anywhere, wilko sell WGJ concentrate and some members have used that, I gave up and moved to red grape juice which makes a cracking rose type wine, if you look back from the end of the thread in my signature you will see it discussed at length.

If your still stuck ring these guys https://www.stute-foods.com/ ask them for a wholsaler in your area, ring the wholesaler and ask if they deliver to anyone in your area, it typically sells at about £1.60-70 per litre though i have seen it in online health food shops nearer £2.00. The less the demand the higher the price, if demand drops then its only a matter of time before those that do stock it take it of the shelves alltogether.

Thanks for the info Chewie, I have only recently come back in to brewing from a 6 year rest. I was pretty shocked at the lack of this stuff on the shelves now. Thanks again.

How any kilos of gold did it cost from there?

I think it was £1.79, so not cheap.

A member posted that he used the concentrate from Wilko at 250ml to a 4.5 litre demijohn

This Italian white grape concentrate is an ideal addition to your country wine recipe to add extra body and roundness and generally improve the final flavour and finish. Perfect for lighter wine styles such as elderflower.
