Other Estimated "Value" of homemade Vino

Making wine is a chemistry set for adults

It's both a chemistry set and a canvas. There's the joy in playing with science and the delight and pleasure in the art we create and share.

What kit did you make?

The one I just bottled was RJS En Primeur Italian Rosso Grande Eccelente. The one I just started was Winexpert LE19 Cape Blend.

Did you pick up the LE19 on sale? I've made kits as old as 3 years and they came out fine. If stored properly, the useful shelf life is surprisingly long.

Nope. Bought it in 2020 as a special-order from my "local" store. $179. Has been stored in cool basements ever since. The other one I got at the same time was LE19 Pacific Quartet Red, still needs to be made.

My wife would take all the Cape Blend kits I could find. Unfortunately I haven't found any left. She does love that wine.

As far as a value on my kit wines, I get asked all the time if could sell it. I guess I should ask what they think the price should be. BTW I've never sold my wine, given it away, yes, but never sold.

My next door neighbor is a DEA agent. Not much chance I’ll be selling my wine

My real problem with selling is that my hobby would become a business. I was in business for 43 years, its now time to play.
