As a wine afficionado and writer I often hear from women who love to make wine from wine kits. In fact, I recently attended a fabulous wine tasting get-together put on by a group of women who have developed a dynamic wine club and are making fantastic wines from wine kits.
This group of friends have three things in common: 1) they all love good wine and good food, 2) they all enjoy a wide variety of wines, and 3) they love to throw great wine tasting parties. This group consists of mothers and daughters, sisters, co-workers and longtime girl-friends.
I was first introduced to this group because as a group, they had requested a discount for a copy of my ebook “Everything You Need To Know About Wine Kit Making.†When they first started the group they insisted that every member have a copy and read it through, so everyone understood the “how-tos†and “whys†of wine kit making. "This", they said, "removed any fears they had, walked them through the entire process, and gave them a handy reference if any questions arose."
The group made the decision to make wine kits because they wanted to enjoy a variety of excellent quality wines without "breaking the bank". By splitting the costs and sharing in the work, each person in the group is rewarded with a fine assortment of wines to take home to enjoy.
They now make a significant number of wine kits when they get together. At each meeting, they always pick which wines they will make for the next meeting, because they all have favorites they enjoy while cooking, or to pair with meals, or simply for relaxing.
As the group chooses which wines to make, they always try to choose four to six new white and four to six red wine types to try. They also make fruit wine kits for summer entertaining and ports for holiday gift giving. Not only do they enjoy great wines from their club but they have fun getting together during the different stages in the wine making process.
After the wines have aged for an appropriate length of time, they get together for a incredible evening of fun with a wine tasting featuring their own wines. They set a beautifully decorated table of fine cheeses, crackers and hors d’oeuvres. Then they taste the new wines they made and critique them. They prefer a blind tasting, which means that a paper bag is wrapped around each of the bottles so they don’t know which wine they are trying. This makes their wine tastings always interesting and a lot of fun. I was privileged to offer a toast and salute their fine skills as vintners.
As you can see, making wine from wine kits is fun and will save you a lot of money. Consider starting your own wine kit or forming a wine kit making club soon and before long, you will be sipping your own delicious bottle of homemade wine.
