Winexpert Classic Wine Kits

Winexpert Classic Wine Kits are one of the world's most popular choices for home winemakers, offering an exceptional balance of quality, variety and value. Designed to produce approximately 30 bottles of wine, the Classic range showcases well-known grape varieties and blends from some of the world's most respected wine-producing regions, making it easy to enjoy great wine at home for a fraction of the cost of buying it by the bottle.

Whether you prefer bold red wines, crisp whites or refreshing rosé, Winexpert Classic offers a style to suit every palate. With premium 8 litre grape juice concentrate, carefully balanced ingredients and no additional sugar required, these kits produce approachable, everyday wines that are enjoyable young while still benefiting from additional bottle ageing if you choose to cellar them.

Why Choose Winexpert Classic?

The Winexpert Classic range has been developed for winemakers who want consistently excellent results without paying premium prices. Sitting at the heart of the Winexpert collection, Classic combines quality grape juice concentrate with carefully balanced acidity, tannins and flavour to create wines that are true to their varietal character.

Every kit contains 8 litres of premium grape juice concentrate, producing around 23 litres (approximately 30 bottles) of finished wine. Unlike many traditional wine kits, there's no additional sugar required, as everything needed to produce the finished wine is already included within the kit.

Each kit also includes the correct yeast, stabilisers and finings, allowing you to produce clean, consistent wines with minimal guesswork. Whether you're making a California Shiraz, Chilean Sauvignon Blanc or Italian Pinot Grigio, every style has been developed to showcase the characteristics that make that wine popular around the world.

Explore Wines from Around the World

One of the biggest strengths of the Winexpert Classic range is its variety. Instead of focusing on a single country or grape variety, Classic allows you to explore wines inspired by famous wine regions across the globe.

The range includes fruit-forward reds such as Shiraz, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec, alongside elegant whites including Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Pinot Grigio and Viognier. You'll also find popular blends and speciality wines, giving you plenty of choice whether you're stocking a wine rack or making wine for everyday enjoyment.

Outstanding Value Without Compromising Quality

Producing around 30 bottles per kit, Winexpert Classic represents exceptional value compared with buying similar wines from a supermarket or wine merchant. It's an ideal choice for anyone who enjoys sharing wine with family and friends, entertaining guests or simply keeping a selection of quality wine ready to enjoy whenever the occasion calls for it.

Many home winemakers begin with Winexpert Classic before progressing to the Reserve or Private Reserve ranges, while others return to Classic time and again because of its consistency, excellent varietal expression and outstanding value for money.
