Current Prices

[djrockinsteve]

I thought I'd start a thread where we can post prices of fruit/juices/concentrates at the local Sam's Club, WalMart, GFS, Aldi's etc.

This way we would be able to compare prices at different places and times of the year so as to better plan a purchase to start a wine. As time progresses you would be able to look back and find sale prices on many of the fruits/juice items we use.

WalMart today had gallon jugs of Musselman's 100% Apple Cider for $4.49 each. Only ingredient aside from apple juice was asorbic acid. The specific gravity in the jug is 1.047 Adjust accordingly.

This is cheaper than buying apples and making my own cider.

Steve,
We also found this and are attempting a faux apple ice wine. Two gallons currently being frozen.....we'll thaw and extract the thick stuff and leave as much water behind. All an experiment.

I just picked up some wine at Walkers in NY yesterday and I plan on making an Ice wine as well. Gotta dig up the recipe and directions.

Go to your local Costco.
I saw Apple Peach Passion Fruit @ 2-96oz jugs for 5-6 bucks (U need 4 2-pacs). I have made this 3 times over the last 3 years. I get 4 2pacs. I dumped 7-96oz containers and sugar to 1.080. The last one I drink. All you need to do is make a "nice" Peach f-pac for later

WalMart currently has 30 ounce cans of Pure Pumpkin and Pumpkin Mix (all the spices) for $2.50 for anyone making pumpkin wine. The larger grocery chains have it for $3.50
