Best site for purchasing kits

[munkee41182]

Good morning/afternoon everyone. I'm trying to get back into making wine, life kind of kicked my butt for almost two years and I miss drinking good wine. Where is everyone purchasing their kits from? Why choose that particular site (best price, fastest shipping, best selection). I normally buy mine from a local store but it's hard for me to get away and search for a kit that I want while hauling two kids in tow LOL.

Thanks for your help!

It partially depends on your location because shipping costs can make or break the price. For me:

For price and for Winexpert kits: https://labelpeelers.com/
For selection: https://www.finevinewines.com/Guide-to-choosing-a-wine-kit.html

Both sites, in my opinion, have excellent service.

I can phone or email my local shops and they will order in whatever kit I want, order Tuesday and pickup Friday. Any "searching" I do is on RJS or Winexpert websites. [emoji3]

I agree with both responses but everyone has sales and free shipping offers. If you don't need it immediately just keep looking at all the sources.

I concur with @Grabo

If you talk to the folks at the stores you will realize they are really nice people.

When I can get my LHBS to deal, I buy from them. Unfortunately, their everyday prices are 30-40% higher than LP.

For 8 highest brix, cold filled fruit juice concentrates use this site https://www.brownwoodacres.com/fruit-juice-concentrates/ They also offer free shipping on smaller orders and wholesale pricing for larger orders.

These are my two main sites as well. My local suppliers don't cater to wine beer only so it isn't practical to order from them at full price but I buy my yeast and other supplies from them.

I really like https://www.midwestsupplies.com - they replace everything you order if it goes defective within a year of purchase, and their prices are reasonable (especially during sales). I don't have anything local, so this site has been great. Amazon is also a good source for me, I enjoy the fontanas and having them get here in two days.
