On The House - Merlot - 30 Bottle Red Wine Kit

This On The House Merlot kit produces an exceptional, smooth, medium bodied, low tannin wine, smooth, rich in flavours of blackberry and black currant. This is the perfect wine if you're new to brewing reds. The strength will be somewhere around the 12% ABV mark. If you like it stronger though just add less water for a higher concentrated brew.

Tip: You don't need to the oak chips.  Leaving them out will remove the fruit-cake and chocolatey notes.  This allows the flavours of plum, blackberries, cherries and red fruits to shine through.

Fermenting will only take around 4 weeks or so but with any wine it gets better with age so be patient and let it mature away, it'll be worth it. These larger kits are excellent value for money providing you with up to 30 750ml bottles of good quality liquid at a fraction of the cost of a supermarket wine.

No extra sugar is required as this is a premium, all inclusive homebrew wine kit. Basic equipment is required. You will need a 25 litre fermentation bucket with a drilled lid or a wide neck wine fermenter. If you don't have any beginner's wine making kit then check out our home brew equipment package.

• Grape Juice
