I'm trying to decide between the Reserve Du Chateau 4 Week Wine Kit Sicilian Shiraz, or the Vino Italiano 4 Week Wine Kit Tuscany Rosso Magnifico and

I've done the Rosso and was very pleased with it, as I have been with all the Vino Italiano Reds. In general I tend to prefer them to the more expensive brands.

I like the delicato and classico but my sister likes the intenso. To each their own...it tastes amazing!

You need to go with your own instincts. I would prefer the pasta boat, but that is my own personal preference. I have used it over and over and never had a problem with the pasta EVER !!!! I would not want to be without it. They don't sell them in Holland....very very stupid.

I have been to a Riedel seminar where we tasted Burgundy wines in a Bordeaux glass and a Bordeaux in a Burgundy glass. It makes an amazing difference in the aromas and flavors. It is the same with Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay, so if you want to get the most from your wine, I would recommend the different shapes.

I have the Grape after checking out both and it works great for me. I saw no difference. I don't want to flat out say no difference but I did not find any difference other than brand name.

Dunno. Sorry. One thing is clear: The Markwort Volcano costs about 4X what the Campell Hausfield costs. The reviewers seem to think it's a higher quality item. My sense is: I'd like Snap-on quality but settle for Craftsman as the better value.

If you go on Ebay, and type in wine kit, you will find kits that include all of the things you need to begin wine making. Primary fermenter (bucket) racking cane, secondary fermenter ( 6 gal glass bottle)Hydrometer, etc etc. They run in the neighborhood of $100. do not get the cheaper kit with a plastic secondary fermenter. harder to clean, and not worth the savings. These kits are on amazon as well, and sometimes cheaper.

I purchased the premium kit, and it has been great. I too was new to wine making.

I have just bottled my 5th batch of Cornucopia wine, with another waiting to be started....I normally get 28-30 bottles from a kit (plus a half bottle for drinking!), although one kit only made 26 bottles. It could have been my fault--not topping up enough, or losing too much to racking. But this is THE best kit on the market, is the ONLY kit that is COMPLETE (every other one you have to buy additional corks, labels and foils), and is the BEST value. Good luck in your winemaking....

I would say, and have done, both They also make a great mixed drink glass. They are larger than the average wine glass with a stem.

I have only tried Zesty Italian dressing in a bottle, and so am not completely qualified to evaluate it as a mix. I really like the regular Italian mix, since I add extra virgin olive oil and a very good quality wine vinegar to the mix, which creates the best tasting dressing! The bottled mixes don't compete. I would guess that "Zesty" has stronger spice, possibly more pepper. Good luck with your salads! You probably can't go wrong with either one of them!

i prefer the grape one and the grape doesn't actually taste like grapes, it taste like berry, something like that. :)

I have found the 2-3 months for most wines is a good time frame. But some wine will be better at 1 year than 6 months and if it is still good at 2 years it might last forever. your peach kit should be good at 3 months. if you can save a few bottles for 6 months and 1 year. you might be happier with longer waiting time, its all about testing.

I like to make it with a table chianti. I use the cheapest of the chianti Ruffinos, which I enjoy in and of itself. No need to use the expensive stuff. It's a tad drier than a house merlot, but the Gluhwein recipe sweetens and flavors it up nicely! I'm sure it would also be great to use a house merlot, though I haven't tried that.

I compared the Zazzol with pictures of the VinLuxe on Amazon and both seem identical. Since the VinLuxe is not available, the Zazzol would be a fine replacement. And I do mean fine. Cheers.

I have bought both brands. I think they are pretty close to the same product. More of your preference then anything else.

My personal favorite is WHISPER . It contains sandalwood and jasmine which is a marriage made in heaven, it sometimes replaces my Chanel , and at a much better price. Try and enjoy, I am a IPC for d o terra will be happy to answer any questions or concerns, just my opinion, the most expensive is not always the best.
