Wine making

[galvatron]

So the wife decided to try making wine. She picked up a kit and supplies at the local brew shop. Now 28 days +/- later we're bottling it.
Had to pull a couple samples, for quality control purposes and purely scientific study only.....

I don't normally drink wine, more of a milk or Pepsi guy. This stuff is actually pretty good. We finished off about 2 bottles wine bottling it last night.
Google Cru wine kits for a better idea on actual quality, being an uncultured redneck my opinion ain't with much.....

What sort of $ per gallon do the kits work out at ?

You'd probably like this, it's acai raspberry something. It's not sugary sweet but it's not like normal red wine. Like I said in another post, I really don't have a clue when it come s to wine. Ask me about milk, I can help ya. I go through 2 gallons a week by

The wife ran the math quick last night and IIRC it comes out to $2 a bottle. The kit was $78 and makes 6 gallons. The cost does not include bottles and the other stuff we picked up. The "hardware" kit, bucket/carboy/bottles/misc stuff is a reusable.
