How easy is it to make your own wine? It takes just two steps when you make it at Wine Excellence: adding the yeast and then, roughly four to eight weeks later, bottling the finished product. They take care of the rest.<\/p>\n

Jennifer Jerrett and Brent Finn are the new owners at Wine Excellence and they’re inviting anyone interested in making their own wine to an open house on Saturday, February 25 to see what they’re all about and how much wine kits have evolved.<\/p>\n

“Make-on-premise wine has evolved leaps and bounds from ten years ago,” says Jennifer. “The quality wasn\u2019t very good. Now, they\u2019re pulling grapes from actual regions and the kits are amazing. It\u2019s quality wine.”<\/p>\n

Like a bold Cabernet Sauvignon or a lighter Pinot Noir? You can make both. How about a dry Chardonnay or a sweeter Riesling? You can make those, too. A fruity summer wine? Yes. You can even blend varietals to make a wine that’s uniquely yours with the newest kit to arrive at Wine Excellence – Mivino.<\/p>\n

While the quality of all the kits are good, there are differences in richness and flavour just as you’d find in the selection of wines at the liquor store.<\/p>\n

No matter what kind of wine someone likes to drink, Brent suggests giving wine making a try. “They\u2019ll find that it\u2019s as comparable if not better. If you have a specific brand, bring that to us and we can try to match it with something similar.”<\/p>\n

You get the satisfaction and fun of doing it yourself, the wines have fewer preservatives, and it tastes better when you do it yourself, I think.

And the price is an attractive feature – kits sell for $129-199 and make about 30 bottles of wine. That’s just four to eight dollars per bottle. With Mivino, if you choose not to blend kits together, you can make half as many bottles if 30 seems like to many to start with.<\/p>\n

Wine making does require some patience, though. The wine from some kits will be ready to drink just four weeks after starting. Others take eight weeks from beginning to bottling and then should sit for another three to six months before you enjoy them.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
