Wine Making Kits - Step 1 is to Clean the Recycled Wine Bottles

Posted by Thomas Alan Gray Oct 18, 2009

Wine making kits are a relatively inexpensive way to lay in a supply of house wines.

Once you have all the wine making supplies, it's an easy enough project that takes only a few weeks. The result is thirty bottles of decent to excellent wine.

Excellent wine from a kit? Indeed. Last year we bought a merlot kit for $80 that produced a wine superior to the winery-produced merlots we bought for comparison, at $15 to $25 a bottle. With all necessary supplies, that wine cost about $5 per bottle, and was well worth the time and effort of making it.

The first step is cleaning our recycled bottles. Here's how to remove the old labels.
