RJ Spagnols Grand Cru Cabernet Sauvignon

I just purchased 5 of these kits for $16 each with serial numbers of 7112409 and 7112416. Do these numbers give you the date? If not how do you determine the date.

Unless it's been changed, the date code is on the variety sticker under the words "Cabernet Sauvignon".

Wow, what a bargin

Are these 23 liter kits? What a bargin! You should be able to detect oxidation if it has already taken place in the bags of juice.

Good going.

Yes, these are 23 litre kits. Tis is the only number printed under the name. There is no label attached of the name.

To me, '23 litre kit' means the kit starts out at 23 litres and no water is added.

Grand Cru kits make 23 litres of wine, but the box contains 10 litres of concentrate/juice. Some GC kits (called Grand Cru International Collection) also have grape skins and are 12 litre kits.
