This is an excellent choice if you like Reislings. It was a little dry after completing the fermentation process, but it's nothing that a little simple sugar couldn't solve. I was able to sweeten it to the likings of the drinkers and it turned out perfect. Recommend this to Riesling lovers.
I have purchased many of these wine kits. They are a good value for an everyday table wine. I've been making wine for about 15yrs and have made over 200 kits similar to this one. I entered my Riesling/Traminer in a competition and it received a bronze medal.

Its been about 50 days since I started this kit. Like the other of this brand I bought, I was weary about the 6.1L juice bag. I made changes to it and I would recommend others do the same, in which you do not make 6 gallons out of this and stop at 5 gallons. I got about 23 bottles out of the kit because I wanted a "thicker" tasting wine. Still the end result is a white wine that smells pretty good, looks a little on the clear side and tastes, to me anyway, kinda thin. Now my wife and mother on the other had, like it very much. I sweetend this back after stabilizing, back to a semi dry level. The wine works well with a white fish and blander pork. I like a lot of big bold flavors myself, so for me I won't be doing this kit again but if you are just starting out and you want an inexpensive product to start with, get this kit. Its a nice "middle-of-the-road" wine that will please just about anyone. So 3 out of 5 stars.

German Reisling has become one of our favorite wines after bicycle touring German wine country. This kit makes a wine that is as close to the wines in Germany that you will find.If you have all of the basic wine making equipment,it is a breeze to make in just 5 or 6 weeks. We like it so well,we have put it on subscription with automatic delivery every 6 months,and at a 15% discount. Our only problem is not drinking it before it ages! We finally have some that is a year old,and it really improves with age.

My husband, father in law, and brother in law all love things wine, so I figured this would be great for my FIL to play with. He totally loved it.
I just finished bottling this, and talk about fruit forward!! WOW this stuff it fabulous! I decided to make it as a 5 gal batch instead of a 6 gal because I prefer a full bodied wine and the last time I made a 6 gal kit as a 6 gal batch it came out rather thin tasting. All the ingredients you need are in the kit including the rather nice surprise of corks, foils and labels. The instructions are simple and easy to follow, the hard part is not drinking it all at once. I definitely recommend it to fruit wine aficionados.
