If anyone has made the zindandel blush wine can you tell me if it is sweet or more on the dry side? Thanks in advance, Karen

When it finishes fermenting it is on the dry side but you sweeten to taste before bottling.

Slightly sweet how sweet depends on how long you let it ferment. We let it ferment longer than the instructions said until we thought it was right for us.

This is my favorite. I always make 5 gallons instead of 6 and I do not like my wine too sweet. This fits just in the middle.

not so much. it's more of an elegant fragrance. I don't think that I would describe it as fresh and fruity. it is my personal favorite.

Thanks Reyes, this is very helpful. Thanks to you, I will be sure to give it plenty of time to dry. It sounds like might not give me exactly the visual effect I was hoping for, but I will end liking it for the way it makes my face feel (which is what it is really suppose do to.) I will try it out this weekend. Thanks again.

You can drink it then, but it gets better with age. I like to wait 6 mos. It also depends on the type of wine. Cabernet needs to age more than say Cianti.

It smells like roses instead of vodka. Also, the rose water part of it is soothing and softening :)

Nope. This concentrate already has sugar added to make a specific product. Much easier to make something sweeter than drier. Try a plain Riesling or Piesporter. I've made a Piesporter twice and it is very nice and NOT sweet.

I have a possible fix. I bought good seasons garlic and herb (innocuous) and then compared the recipe to that for the much loved cheese garlic. The second ingredient on our favorite is "blue cheese". I found something called "powdered blue cheese" on the web, bought a pound (!) of it, and added a half teaspoon to the insipid dressing. I think it is a pretty good replacement for the original. (And my pound of blue cheese will last forever). I think I will try adding the blue cheese to a plain vinagrette --- maybe I can get rid of good seasons forever.

Ugh, come on guys, she asked about hair and skin, not how great it tastes; I'm sure we all know that by now!Kate: I actually only use this for my face-it's not so sweet and I only use this in my tea if I run out of my trader joes raw organic honey. For my face it is fantastic! I'm allergic to everything so this has become my cleanser, face wash, and moisturizer all in one (though I do use various oils afterwards on my face) but its fantastic for whole body, softening, making less sensitive, calming, etc. I think you'll def enjoy it! I have not tried on my hair yet but others I know love it in washes! Hope it helps!V.

I ddn't notice that when I ordered to be honest. I can say that I liked it and I should have ordered another month's supply. I switched to something else and hated making that choice. I plan to purchase this product again in the very near future. It may not be for everyone but I would say try it out and see for yourself. It's not bad tasting or anything like that and it only takes a few seconds to mix. Post your thoughts once you try it so I can see if you agree with me. Thanks for asking.

burgundy can be a very tricky color to match and this is definitely in the wine/ camel category. I had an extremely difficult time trying to find the exact paint color of the wine to match (of course, I bought the shower curtain first!....:P...) if that sort of thing doesn't make you OCD then I think it would be pretty together. I have white beadboard , vanity and mirror, as well as the fixtures and have camel/ tan towels and it looks really nice. I also bought the button shower rings and they are really cute. the wine color on both products leans more "brown" than "purple" if that helps. burgundy can be a very tricky color to match and this is definitely in the wine/ camel category.

I have not tried that one. I will have to buy a bottle to compare. Let me know what you think if you buy one.

It is sweet and syrupy. Technically it is a reduction but not like cooking down wine vinegar in a pan. The reduction occurs as the vinegar agesin wooden barrels over time the barrels used are smaller. I have purchased three bottles each came with a batch number. I researched and found this to be the highest grade at a reasonable price. I will definitely buy another. You will not need to cook this down to get the sweet thickness of a reduction.

Actually people may find this hard to believe but if you follow directions exactly as i have , i have regularly had wine last for weeks...even a month, with this product and leaving the wine then either on the counter or inside the refrigerator if it's pretty hot in summer and the wine is always really really good. I wonder if it depends on the quality of the wine and the kind of wine. I mostly drink only oak barrelled red wine...Ruah, Cabernet, and Merlot usually and don't get anything less than a $20 bottle and usually better quality than that. I also don't drink much out of a bottle once open it, maybe one or two glasses and then sometimes not for weeks again , and i can tell you for over 4 years using this, never has a bottle of wine gone bad and always it tastes great (even guests say that and can't believe it)......sometimes better, smoother...but as i said i get good wine to start with. i have had one can last 3 to 4 years , sometimes share it and finish the bottle and a few nights later open another and have a glass or two only , other times with guests empty the bottle of course...sometimes drink only one glass out of same bottle a few times or more and preserve it for over a months' time before it's finished....and still great tasting wine and well preserved... So that is my experience. And i heard from others that a couple of weeks is pretty normal with this product but maybe more than that you might not be able to count on, but i always have and have never been disappointed. Hope that helps.

Hi There! Have you gotten the game in the mail yet? Inside is a detailed instruction sheet that describes how to prepare for and play the game. The object of the game is to guess each wine's grape varietal. Let me know if you got the game and the instructions are missing. Thanks!

Also, Bertha, my internist sells this in her office. One of the nurses or assistants sells it and uses it. That is the only reason she allows it to be sold in the office. She is careful about what she recommends. It does make you feel full and if you drink it fast, it's not so bad. If you let it sit for a few minutes, it gets very thick. So drink it as quick as possible. It's cheaper on amazon than what I paid. Good luck!

Dear Valued Customer, Thank you for contacting us! We are happy to help. This product has an alcohol-like taste to it due to the fact that alcohol is an ingredient. When mixed with water, it is relatively flavorless. I personally just tried a little bit of some that one of our product specialists had and didn't find the taste unpleasant or too strong. Please keep in mind that everyone's senses are a bit different, and what may not be strong to one person may be different for another. We hope this information is helpful!

Its more vinegar tasting, and the oil/vinegar are really separate ( you have to shake it constantly and vigorously). I love Red Wine Vinaigrette, Kraft is still my favorite with Kens Steak House and Kroger brand running a close second. Please get in more Kraft. I hope this was helpful.
