Cornucopia Fruit Wine Kit, Red Raspberry Pinot Nero, 16.4-Pound Box

My Wife and I have been making wine from kits for about seven years now. This was our first Cornucopia Fruit Wine Kit. I think that my wife won't let me go back to our other brands now. The flavor of this wine is so incredibly Raspberry flavor, it's as if you are really biting into sweet juicy RED RASPBERRIES and the juice is running down your fingers and chin and the aftertaste you are left with is so pleasant on your tongue, you feel like you spent the day picking Raspberries and eating them as well. This kit was very easy to make. The only thing I did a little differently as far as bumping up the alcohol is I added about 2.5 lbs of corn sweetner (clear Karo) at the beginning of the fermenting. Just add it before the yeast. We have the Pear kit Fermenting now. And we just ordered a second kit of this Red Raspberry. We give a lot to friends and family and neighbors and they all want more more MORE!!!! lol. Well, we are looking forward to trying other flavors. My wife says to try the Red Currant for the holidays. And Green Apple at least. From all the reviews I read, it looks like there really isn't any flavor that is bad. So if your looking for an intense fruit flavor try this Red Raspberry Pinot Nero. You certainly will not be disappointed. Bet you can't drink just one glass!

This is my 9th kit of Cornucopia Fruit Wine.I make it to 6 gal. and add 5 lbs of simple syrup, (just heat water and add sugar)at the beginning fermentation. This will make the wines abv about 12% instead of the 6% that it makes without the sugar.Each pound of sugar raises the abv about 1%. Make sure to use quality water like bottled spring water,not tap or well water.The directions are easy to follow. I have started adding only half to three fourths of the sweetner flavor pack and its better to my taste.If you like a really sweetwine add it all.It also gets a little better after being in the bottle for a month or two.The Vino Italiano wines at amazon are very good too for a regular non fruit wine.Great value with corks and labels and hats.I also don't put labels on all the bottles unless i'm giving them away,too much work to clean them off next time,just use a little adhesive tag to label them.I highly recommend these wines,and its fun to experiment with different techniques that you read other people tried. Enjoy, but remember,its addictive.

This wine turned out so GREAT that my wife and friends had me order another 1 as soon as they tasted it. The bouquet was so fragrant and nice not to mention the taste which was fabulous. Will do another in the spring. Cornucopia kits include everything you need to make a great wine beverage, except the equipment. Try it, your sure to like it. The Farmwiner...

It makes a decent wine, this is made to drink when the wine is young, while the wine is just OK at a young stage, it says aging will cause it to lose the fruity taste but since it makes about 30 bottles I think there will be quite a few that will be left to age. I have made wine before and it has turned out well and tasted good after aging. This kit has the ingredients necessary to make the wine but you do need to have your own fermenting container, carboy, the air locks, bottles and things like that. It is easy to do and the price is reasonable. The quality of the wine isn't great but it is acceptable.

With these wine kits you often get told to put Keilesol and Chitosan to clarify the wine...those packets are in the kits. My wife, since I started making wine from kits, has been saying there is a chemical under taste that is not appealing. She has a very sensitive taste capability well beyond me, but even I noticed it.

SO.....

First I added 24 ounces of Karo syrup to boost the alcohol content (to the must), then I followed directions right up to adding the sweetened flavoring. (potassium sorbate, etc was put in...). I only added about 2/3 of the sweet flavoring bag, otherwise it would have been too sweet. Then I stirred well...then I did....nothing....

I let it settle for a week then carted it over to another carboy again, leaving the dregs behind. A week later I filtered it through the small filter system (Vinbrite....works well but you have to rig the bottom plumbing a little) and the wine was....EXCELLENT.

If this doesn't work for you...sorry. However, my 2+ cases were immediately wiped out by friends and family after they tasted it. So now I get to do it again and this time I will shut up once the batch is complete!
