Wine Making Kits

Wine Making Kits for Home Winemaking

Make red, white, rosé and fruit wine at home with our range of wine making kits. We stock easy-to-use home brew wine kits from trusted ranges including Winexpert, Beaverdale, Cellar 7, SG Wines, VineCo and Magnum, with options for beginners, regular winemakers and anyone looking for a more premium bottle. Whether you call them wine making kits or wine brewing kits, each one provides a straightforward way to make wine at home without starting from fresh grapes.

Choose from smaller 6 bottle kits for trying a new style or 30 bottle wine kits for better value. Each kit contains the main ingredients and step-by-step instructions; the individual product page will tell you whether any additional sugar or equipment is required.

Choosing the Right Wine Making Kit

The best wine kit depends on the style you enjoy, how many bottles you want to make, how quickly you want the wine ready and the level of flavour and body you expect. Entry-level kits are ideal for affordable everyday wine, while larger premium kits generally contain more grape concentrate and can produce greater varietal character, structure and ageing potential.

• New to wine making? Choose a straightforward 6 or 30 bottle kit, or start with a complete wine starter kit containing the essential equipment.
• Want wine ready sooner? Look at quicker-drinking ranges designed to be bottled within a few weeks, while allowing extra time for clearing and maturation where possible.
• Want more body and depth? Choose a premium kit with a larger volume of grape concentrate and allow the finished wine time to mature.
• Not sure which style to choose? Start with a familiar grape such as Merlot, Shiraz, Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc.

Wine Kits for Beginners

Making wine from a kit is one of the simplest ways to begin home winemaking. The grape concentrate, yeast and other required ingredients are prepared in the correct proportions, so you can follow the supplied instructions without crushing fresh grapes or using specialist vineyard equipment.

You will usually need a fermenter, demijohn or carboy, sanitiser, hydrometer, syphon and bottles. Browse our wine making supplies, glass demijohns and carboys, syphons and racking and bottles for the essentials.

Red Wine Kits

Our red wine kits cover soft, fruit-forward styles through to bold, full-bodied wines. Shop classic varieties including Merlot wine kits, Cabernet Sauvignon wine kits, Shiraz wine kits, Malbec wine kits, Pinot Noir wine kits and Zinfandel wine kits.

Many reds become smoother and more rounded with additional time in the bottle, particularly fuller-bodied and premium kits.

White and Rosé Wine Kits

For crisp, fresh or aromatic wines, browse Chardonnay wine kits, Pinot Grigio wine kits, Sauvignon Blanc wine kits and Riesling wine kits. White and rosé kits are often enjoyable younger than heavier reds, although a little bottle conditioning can still improve the finished wine.

6 Bottle or 30 Bottle Wine Kits?

A 6 bottle wine making kit is useful for limited space, testing a new variety or keeping several styles on the go. A 30 bottle kit offers better value per bottle and suits winemakers who already know the wine style they enjoy.

Budget, Mid-Range and Premium Wine Kits

Budget home brew wine kits are designed for accessible, everyday drinking and may require brewing sugar where stated. Mid-range kits usually provide more grape character and body. Premium wine kits typically contain a greater volume or concentration of juice and are intended to produce a more complex wine with improved aroma, structure and ageing potential.

Popular ranges include Cellar 7 wine kits, Beaverdale wine kits, Winexpert wine kits, Winexpert Reserve wine kits, Winexpert Private Reserve wine kits and SG Wines Platinum wine kits.

Wine Making Equipment and Ingredients

Clean and sanitise every item that touches the wine. A hydrometer helps you follow fermentation and confirm it has finished before stabilising and bottling. Depending on the kit and your preferred finish, you may also need finings and clarifiers, yeast nutrients, acids and flavour additives or corks, caps and shrinks.

Wine Making Kit FAQs

Are wine making kits suitable for beginners?

Yes. The ingredients are prepared and measured for you, and every kit includes its own instructions. A complete wine starter kit is the easiest option if you do not already own the equipment.

How many bottles does a wine kit make?

The most common sizes make either 6 or 30 standard 750ml bottles. Check the product description because batch sizes can vary between ranges.

How long does a wine making kit take?

Many kits are designed to complete their main fermentation and clearing stages in roughly four to eight weeks. Temperature, fermentation progress and the specific kit all affect the timescale, and the wine may improve further after bottling.

Do I need to add sugar to a wine kit?

Some lower-cost kits require additional brewing sugar, while many larger and premium kits do not. Always follow the instructions for the exact kit rather than assuming the same method applies to every range.

What equipment do I need?

You will usually need a fermenter, demijohn or carboy, sanitiser, hydrometer, syphon, bottles and suitable closures. Our wine starter kits provide a convenient starting point.

Which wine kit should I choose?

Try Merlot for a softer red, Shiraz or Malbec for something fuller, and Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc for a crisp white. Choose a premium range if depth, body and ageing potential matter more than the lowest cost per bottle.
