The Cantina range of wine kits contains 5 litres of Pinot Grigio concentrated grape juice which means that no additional sugar is required to make 30 bottles of flavoursome white wine.
Using a special strain of yeast, these wine kits ferment in around 5 days, clear in 2 days and are, nominally, ready to drink immediately. In practice, as with all commercial wines, it improves immeasurably if left for a few months to mature.
"Kit very easy to use, it does what it says on the box. Very drinkable, but it does improve if left for more than a week ! Buyer beware - it has a kick to it. Recommended."
Quality: Good - 4/5 Price: About Right - 3/5

"Unbelievably fast. It really ferments in 5 days. I used tesco mineral water. It did clear in 2 days, but I did not de-gas it enough as per the instructions, so it was a little cloudier than I hoped. I filtered with a Boots filter and the results was very clean, bright and polished and i only used 2 filter papers for 21 litres. Result was excellent and we took several litres on holiday about 10 days after starting the kit. At our beer festival on 12th April 2009, friends could not believe it was home made and in such a short time. we had no wine left after the party. Andy recommended this 5 day kit over other makes and it was a good choice. "
