Craft Range Sessions 14 Day Wine Kit With Wood Chip Mix Cabernet Sauvignon

Craft Range Sessions 14 Day Wine Kit With Wood Chip Mix Cabernet Sauvignon

Includes a complex wood chip mix which accelerates the aging process producing a great wine in as little as 14 days. We've been working with customers and manufacturers for a year to perfect this wine kit.

This kit is modelled on the Cabernet Sauvignon grape, and will create a dark ruby coloured red homebrew wine full of body and wonderful tannins. After the 14 days it takes to make it, it will have already transformed into a perfectly balanced Cabernet Sauvignon, and will further improve with age in the bottle.

All ingredients you need are included. Just add water.
