Where to get Cabernet grapes?

[Braden]

Wanting to make a wine from real and actual fruit instead of using the wine kits. Where do you guys buy your fruit? Supermarket? Online? What other fruit wines have you guys made and how did they turn out?

Brandon you are going to have to tell us where you are from to answer your question.

But we can indeed tell you that you won't find wine grapes at the supermarket.

There are a number of vendors that well sell you frozen buckets of actual wine grapes:
Wine Grapes Direct
Brehm Vineyards - Fine Wine From Fine Grapes

Pittsburgh! And yeah I haven’t seen any wine making grapes in any supermarket but wasn’t sure

 

[sour_grapes]

Plenty of 'Burghers here who can fill yinz in on how to buy fresh grapes in the fall!

I’m seeing a lot of grape must and not so much whole frozen fruit. Is it better to just get the frozen must? Also coming from wine kits how much must would I need to make a 6.5 gal Carboy of wine

I think @mainshipfred actually got some grapes from Pittsburgh last year.

CFP winemakers in the strip is your new friend. I think that South African grapes already came and the Chilean are due in mid-May.

They took orders a few months back but they probably order extra so check out their website. Winemaking grapes, juice, equipment, and supplies
