Created with the same grape mix as in the famous Tuscan reds, this wine kit from northern Italian grapes produces a great table wine, ready to be drunk fairly young, very fruity, rich red with young tannins.

Cantina wine kits are the ultimate combination of speed and quality in home wine making kits.

Cantina wine kits make it possible to make your own wine in only 5 days. With the development of highly specialised yeast strains and nutrients you can retain the grapes qualities even during super fast fermentation. The wine can be consumed after 7 days but the wine flavours & aromas will benefit from being stored, allowing the wine to mature.

Sugar inclusive kits so all you need to add is water to make 28 bottles of high quality wine. You don't need to be an expert, just mix the ingredients and wait, this is wine making made easy! Each kit contains 5L of grape concentrate.

These are ingredients only kits – equipment is not included.

Cantina Wine Kit Instructions.

Disgusting - Three times - Overly Acid upset my Stomach

Bought 3 batches of this Cantina Red Wine Kit. Brewed the three one after the other. Just like I had with teh Australian Blend before that unfortunately was out of stock. Will never buy another Cantina brand. Emailed Hambleton Bard who makes this and found out the Australian Blend machine is broke, seems to have gone the same was as their SE30 refilling machine. Suffice it to say, I have found an amazingly lower price alternative from MYO. Never buying Hableton Bard again. This was the biggest let down ever, absolutely disgusting rubbish. Worse than any supermarket red I have ever had and that's really saying something. I looked oxidised from day one, even the extract smelt like it was off. Did an acidity test and it was way off. Nastiest wine I have ever brewed, complete waste of £70. And they hiked the price up, found out this stuff used to be only £25 for 23L batch, if I had known that, would never have bought this cheap rubbish - tasted worse than the Magnum Red. Seemed like a nasty watered down spanish red that even Tesco's wouldn't have the nerve to sell.

Simply Ginger beer.

Turned out great, very happy with it, refreshing and the ginger has a kick, the alcohol content is just right.

No More Bottles!

TLDR: The product is good, and much better than bottling-up!

I'm just trying these mini kegs for the first time with a couple of 25 litre brews. I decided to try them because, hey, who wants to wash another bottle, right?! (Seriously, I got bottle washing burn out!)

I'm using the supplied bungs and the integrated tap. As I'm only on my first rack-up, I can't speak to reusability or longevity, but first impressions are that this looks very positive. The kegs are robust, more than they look in pics. The taps are printed "Fass Frisch", a company renowned for high quality products, and the taps live up to that.

The supplied handles clip on nicely, and are far better than my first-glance suspicions. The moment I cautiously lifted the first full keg by the handle my worries were gone.

As for usage, filling's a little awkward. I used a bottle buddy, and a torch to peer into the keg! A source online suggested putting the keg on scales and filling to a certain weight, which seems sensible to me, but I thought I'd make life difficult for myself first time around! (A fishing float would probably do the trick well.) I batch primed, intentionally under-priming (~2.5g granulated per litre for an IPA, much less than bottling), there are lots of warnings when reading up about over-priming 5L kegs, so I went with better to be under-carbed than under the floor boards! I'm not fussed about that this time, as I intend to get a Party Star tap for the next run.

With the pressure from priming sugar, the build up allows about 300mL of "under pressure" dispensing before the bung's valve needs to be opened, then the flow is fairly slow - curse Earth's weak gravity! The pressure will build up again over a half-day or so, but be aware that air's getting in every time, so not advisable to keep a started keg for "too long". A good excuse to drink the brew, and another good reason to get the Party Star tap: no air ingress. That setup would probably keep the brew good for over six months, maybe a year - but don't take my word for that, others would know much better. And anyway, who's keeping an open keg for a year?

The kegs also gave me a feeling of being a little bit more "pro", more set up, a slightly better homebrewer! I will defo be getting more.

Cider enhancer

First time using the enhancer and will use again.
Cider is crisp and fresh, fermentation started the same day and results are good.
