Winemaking Starter Kit

Winemaking Starter Kit – the equipment you need to make wine at home

The Winemaking Starter Kit contains the equipment you need to ferment and age wine, sanitize your equipment and transfer the wine to bottles. Together with a wine kit from Winexpert or Vineco, making good wine yourself is easy. The process takes 4–8 weeks, depending on the wine kit. Once the yeast has been added, it is mostly a matter of waiting. All the wine kits include step-by-step instructions.

You will also need bottles, corks and a corker. A corker is not included in the kit, because you should choose it based on the bottles and corks you want to use.
