The following table lists the kit wines I’ve made since 1996. Note that “kit” wines differ (in my mind) from concentrates in that a kit is a complete package for wine making. It contains all the consumables necessary to make wine, e.g., sulfite, fining agent(s), yeast, etc. In contrast, concentrates are simply the fruit in concentrated form; all other consumables must be purchased separately.
That said, I included concentrates in this last in lieu of making a separate category for only a few wines.
Note: The wines in this list are in reverse chronological order. Clickable links navigate to the wine making associated log.
Also note that wines marked with a green background are in progress, e.g., have not yet been bottled.
