White Cranberry Pinot Gris Wine Kit - Winexpert Island Mist

Always very satisfied with service and shipment. Great selection of products and supplies. Plan to order continuously from Northern

I've made a lot of wine kits and followed the instructions exactly, but I didn't end up with a wine that tasted much like cranberries. Decent wine, but I was really looking for cranberry flavor.

Since I wanted more flavor, when I was done with the kit, I added 2 cups of whole cranberries, boiled for about 10 minutes in 1 cup of water. Much better flavor! That said, you probably wouldn't want to try this unless you have a filter - it's hard to get all the tiny seeds out without them. Another option might be to add dried cranberries at the end and let it age in the carboy longer.

This was my first kit and I’m surprised how good it turned out. I only had a 5 gallon carboy (instructions call for 6) so my wine to cranberry flavoring ratio was a little off. It came out sweeter than I had hoped for. Overall very good!
