Wine Making Kits – The Brands
The main differences between the wine kits on offer are the ‘time to brew’ and whether or not additional sugar is required. Below i have listed the selection of Wine Kit Brands, a brief introduction to their respective strengths and features an indication as to whether they require an added sugar and the expected ‘time to brew’;
California Connoisseur Wine Making Kits
These are a range of very good quality wine kits. The ratio of juice to water is high and no additional sugar is required. These kits take 30 days to brew.

Beaverdale Wine Making Kits
These are great wine kits on a par with the California Connoisseur range. The ratio of juice to water is also very high and no additional sugar is required. These kits also take 30 days to brew.
Solomon Grundy Wine Making Kits
This is the most popular wine kit range in the country. They make a good quality wine, in my opinion on a par with a £3 bottle of new world wine that you find in the supermarket. The quantity of juice in the kit is a lot lower than the Cal. Conn. or Beaverdale kits so 3kg of additional sugar is required for the White and Rosé variety kits and 4kg is required for the Red varieties. The great thing about these kits is that they take just a week to brew.
A note on adding additional sugar – normal household granulated sugar is perfectly fine to use but if you want to make the most of your wine kit we would recommend you use winemaking sugar. This sugar helps produce a more smooth wine and is available at TheThriftyShopper.co.uk in 1kg bags.
Cantina Wine Making Kits
These are my favourite wine kits when I take their fantastic value for money in to account. They are so simple to make and they clear fantastically well. It takes just a week to brew one of these kits and no additional sugar is required.
Cellar 7 Wine Making Kits
This range of wine kits is NEW to the market. The ratio of juice to water is high and no additional sugar is required. These kits take 7 days to brew.
Magnum Wine Making Kits
This range of wine kits is an old favourite but actually quite new to The Thrifty Shopper. They require 3.5kg of added sugar per kit but due to very fast acting yeast take only one week to brew.
