I am not a zin drinker but this kit is just fine for the price. Good instructions, easy, and easy to work with. I would cut it to 5 gallons, or use a top off of something sweet, and a wine conditioner, which I did. What I have now at bottle time is a nice, light little wine to chill off and enjoy. I am sure the age in the bottle will make it better. I did let mine age about 2 weeks longer before bottle, and the taste was quite different, age is the key. Nice little wine for the back yard zin folk, and a good pair with white cheese and crackers. I will keep this stock on hand for the informal little do. And they like it!
The kit was easy to make. Depending on the temperature of your workspace, it takes roughly 4 weeks, though I personally think it was much better after aging a bit. Drinkable right after bottling, but better if you wait a couple months.
Simple to make, came with the corks, labels and capsules. Mixed up well, fermented properly, and clarified beautifully. Can't ask for more than that for a buck and a half a bottle.

This is my 3rd wine kit. I first made a Moscato, second a Strawberry White Merlot and then this one. All of the wines have been easy to make and have all turned out very tasty. I like sweet wine, so all three of the ones that I have made are sweet. If you like sweet wine, this wine is for you.Read Best Reviews of Vino Italiano 4 Week Wine Kit, Zinfandel Blush, 15.5-Pound Box Here
This was my very first wine making kit after receiving wine making equipment as a Christmas gift from my son-in-law. I am a far cry from anything resembling a "wine expert" but do like a white zinfandel. Again, since I am no expert I don't pay a lot of money for the commercial wines I do purchase. That being said I figured I couldn't go too far wrong by purchasing this kit and making a wine I like for about 1.50 a bottle.When the kit arrived I followed the instructions verbatim. After 28 days I drew a sample for tasting and was most pleasantly surprised. I, quite frankly, could not tell the difference in this and the commercial wine I normally purchase. To test it further I put a sample of "my" wine in a glass and poured a sample of commercial wine in another for taste testing by my wife and a friend of ours. Both my wife and friend favored my wine over the commercial.
I'd highly recommend this kit for anyone wishing to have a very nice/tasty zinfandel; I'll be purchasing another kit in the not too distant future.

I have made several batches of White Zinfandel from another brand/company at a much higher price, That co. was out so when looking for another distributor I found Vino Italiano,after making the wine and first taste it was not as sweet as the other which I liked great aroma not to dry.My second taste a week later,a much better taste smoother . I think for the money its great for an every day wine to share with friends
