Welcome to WMT! That wine drinking experience will come in handy after your first several dozen gallons of home made wine.

Hi Charlie. You don't tell us a lot about how long the wine has sat in the carboys nor what your process was. But I'm inclined to agree with wineh and you may have something else going on other than oxidation. You said the wine is drinkable. That's about all you should expect from couple...

Steve, welcome to the forum! There will be plenty of folks here that will give you advice on whatever you decide to try.

LOL! They look identical. I'm curious, is the Fontana label a stick-on? BTW, I currently have a medium-bodied and a heavy-bodied Wine Lovers Merlot that I just started aging this last weekend. The heavy-bodied kit seems a bargain, 16 liters of juice with delivery for $90.

Exactly what I do. Except I use nylon window screen and a rubber band, properly sanitized of course. I think cheese cloth would fold in from the suction but I really don't know since I haven't used it. My screen tool rarely gets plugged and when it does I can shake enough off while in the...

I'm having some of Rocco's Pecorino Pinot Grigio. Excellent!!

I've made a number of Wine Lovers kits since this thread was originally posted, including the Pinot Noir. I bought a variety of medium bodied and the heavey bodied kits. All are still aging but tasted fine when done. I've tweeked them with raisins, currants, blackberries, cherries, table...

All you would lose is your time and labor. I would try it unless, as cmason said, if it smelled bad, toss it.

Wow, lots of big words. Good to know that chitosan is more than just a clarifier.

Good luck Dawg!

AB Cork makes Fontana and Winelovers wine kits so I'm assuming they are similar. Wilelovers has a Valpolicella also and it has all you need to get wine except it doesn't include the "extras". Extras like oak chips, fpacs, etc. The price does include shipping to your door and they get them...

Welcome to MWT!

Interesting video about making this particular kit wine. I noticed they sealed the bucket with an airlock after pitching the yeast.

Welcome!! Hold off on lobster wine until you have a bit more experience. 🙂

While still hunting for raspberry wine ideas, I came across this gem. I'm posting here since the recipes are mostly country wines. https://swguildpa.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Jack-Keller-Complete-Requested-Recipes-Collection.pdf Recipes include Cranberry-Raspberry, Raspberry-Chipotle...

And there at the pub he performed the haka dance to describe the ordeal with the shark.

That's what I have also, the Vintner's Harvest meh raspberry. 😁 Now I'm more motivated to add another flavor with it. I will use the 3 gallon recipe to make it more flavorful. The Zin Rose is a neat idea but wanted to make a country wine for the experience instead of a grape wine with...

It seems they closed their physical store and still sell online. Their website hasn't changed other than the announcement.

I have a can of red raspberry juice. I was considering combining with another fruit to make a wine and I looked for some ideas here. Searching WMT I noticed many made black raspberry wine but not red. Has onyone made red raspberry wine? How was it? Has anyone made red raspbarry and another...

I need a bigger funnel than what I have. I also have that same strainer set and I've used one of the strainers in my current funnel. It let me squeeze juice out of the fruit.
