A wide range of wine kits to suit every budget and taste
As a rule, the longer a wine takes to make, the better the quality. So dont expect a wine you make in 5 or 7 days to yield the same quality as a 28 or 42 day wine.
After bottling, quality wines (especially 28 and 42 day wines) will really improve with age. Even a couple of weeks in the bottle can make a very significant difference.
If you are a beginner, then why not buy two kits: a 5 day wine that will quickly provide you with 30 bottles of reasonably good wine while you wait for a quality wine that will take a few weeks.
At HomeBrewWest we have tried a few of them:
- Cantina and WineBuddy: ready in 5 to 7 days. Both were very drinkable. The Cantina Pinot Grigio is superb for a 5 day wine costing about a Euro a bottle to make, the Cantina Chardonnay is also very good. and the standard Cantina Red is probably the best of the 5 day red wines.
- California Connoisseur: We tried the Merlot, and after a few weeks in the bottle, it turned out to be a fabulous wine.
- KenRidge Showcase: We tried the Amarone, which was superb. This wine range will easily surpass most shop bought wines.
- Advintage Moments: Our best value award winning wine kits, superb.
The HomeBrewWest Smart Wine Starter Kit is perfect for making all the wines below because it has a special degasser, and uses a Better Bottle which is every bit as good as a glass carboy, but cheaper and much safer and easier to handle.
5 DAYS The Cantina range offer the ultimate quality/speed producing 30 bottles of quality wine in just 5 days, and do not require sugar. One of the most popular kits in the UK.The Pinot Grigio is the best of them in our opinion.
7 DAYS Belvino dried fruit wine kits. 30 bottles of wine ready to drink in 7 days. Superb value!
7 DAYS Bards Grape Blends use only the best quality Italian grapes - the same grapes that are used in the normal Italian wine production. Italian styles use grapes from the Toscana and Emilia regions and the French and German styles use grapes from the north of Italy, the Veneto and the Trentino regions.
7 DAYS WineBuddy kits make 30 bottles of wine in just 7 days. And they are inexpensive too.
14 DAYS Magnum kits contain quality European Grape Juice Concentrates and produce 30 bottles of great value wine. The Magnum Medium Dry White is claimed to be the best selling wine kit in the world!
7 to 21 DAYS Butler 30 bottle kits are perfectly balanced to match their commercial equivalents, both in taste and alcohol content.
28 DAYS The Advintage Moments 30 bottle kits are part of a range of kits that have won 195 medals in wine making competition in the USA this year. Think quality, from the grape to the glass! And, although a bit more expensive than other 28 day kits, they are worth it!
28 DAYS The Beaverdale 30 bottle wine kits are very popular.
28 DAYS The KenRidge Classic 30 bottle range is the evolution of over three decades of wine making expertise. Outstanding quality wines with distinctive flavors, bouquet and character using only the highest quality varietal grape juices and premium concentrates.
28 DAYS Vintners Reserve original 28 day, bag in the box 30 bottle wine kit has set the standard for excellence which remains unmatched, and though ready to be consumed after 28 days, ageing uncovers this product's full potential.
42 DAYS KenRidge Showcase features superb wines of extraordinary character. Each of these ultra-premium kits will create a wine that is distinctive, show-casing unique characteristics produced by the specific soils and climatic conditions of the country of origin (30 bottles).
42 DAYS + KFS (KenRidge Founder`s Series), our top of the range wine kits, feature wines of extraordinary elegance and sophistication. Each kit will create an exceptional wine showcasing unique characteristics produced by the specific terroir and climatic conditions of vineyards within its Appellation of Origin (30 bottles).
Should wine be filtered?
Wines significantly improve a few weeks after bottling, so filtering is not essential. Our advice is wines that take a couple of weeks or less to make should be filtered because they tend to get consumed fairly quickly! For the other wines, if you are prepared to wait a few weeks more to let them age, then you dont really need a filter. But remember that practically all commercial wineries filter their wines because they are more stable, will age better and keep longer. Filters help to rid wine of excess gasses and remove yeast and other impurities. Filtering wines improves taste, appearance and durability, and can enhance overall quality (check out the new Mark 4 wine filter in the equipment section).

Smart Brewing is so much easier and way more fun (no messy siphon required). Applying a bit of modern technology, it keeps air away from your beer, to give the highest quality result. Comes with a superb 33 liter fermenter. The larger fementers dont foam over during fermentation like other kits do, so no mess and no infections in your beer. Can be easily upgraded to a top quality keg system for making draft beer, so that you can make both top quality draught and bottled homebrew beer.
The Cantina Pinot Grigio is excellent, ready in 5 days, and costs about a Euro a bottle to make. Of the reds, the Cantina Red is probably the best 5 to 7 day wine. Cantinas do not require the addition of sugar.
