Process

Choose a style of wine you like. Unsure? We can assist you with finding a wine that is suited to your taste.

  • Mix the ingredients and sprinkle the yeast. (The law says you have to!)                                                            
  • Wait 5, 7, 8 or 20 weeks for your wine to be ready.  (The time it takes us to finish it depends on the quality of product chosen)                                                                 
  • Make an appointment to bottle your wine.
  • Bottle your wine and dress it up with our labels and shrinks.
  • Let your wine age.
  • Uncork a bottle, put up your feet, and indulge.

Wine Storage Tips

Here are some wine storage tips to ensure top quality wine:

Do:

  • Store your wine upright for the first 48 hours.
  • After that, you can store your wine upright, on its side or even upside down (the nomacorc corks do not need to be kept wet by the wine).
  • Store your wine in a cool, dark place.
  • Your wine should be stored where the temperature is CONSISTENT… Bright light, movement, and temperature fluctuations can negatively affect the quality of your wine.

Do Not:

  • Do not constantly turn your wine. Red wines will sometimes dust (leave residue on the inside of the bottle). This is normal. Simply decant your wine.
  • Do not store your wine directly on a cement floor. Put a thick piece of wood under your wine storage boxes.
  • Do not store your wine on heated floors.
