This is online and instore. I have been waiting for this and have just ordered the complete Cabernet Sauvignon 6 bottle starter set for £10 was £20.
The 30 bottle kit is now £9 as its already reduced to £18.

Nah, I used to do this all the time but at 12% strength it's not going to taste that good. Wine has to be at least 13-14% for me.0

I bought it for the equipment so I can try my own flavours out of fruits and stuff as I'm new to all this and if it is not my thing its not expensive to try.
I tend to drink 12% in shop bought bottles as I'm a lightweight
It has good reviews on Wilkies.0 -
I've used flavoured tea bags instead of these syrups.Liverpool is one of the wonders of Britain,

The wine making kits that are 1.7kg and dont immediately indicate 30 bottles are cheaper at £14 halved to £7.
They appear to be the same.0 -
This is an excellent bargain because Wilkinsons probably sell the cheapest home brew equipment as it is without the 50% reduction.
Great find, clairibel.0 -

It was my OH who saw it instore and then I checked online, He knows its something I really want to try to do but did not want to pay loads of money out. He went and bought a few more demi johns and bits instore yesterday too.
I don't think there is much left online tbh.
My mums also bought a set :beer:0 -
Wilkos have 50% off all home brew, not sure how long it's going to last but got some real bargains in store today ie: coopers beer kits for £6.50

I think they are restocking as I ordered some beer kits yesterday and wanted some brewing sugar and light golden lager kits, but they were both OOS. had a look today and they were both available.I don't think there is much left online tbh.
Also received yesterdays order this morning. :cool:"We could say the government spends like drunken sailors, but that would be unfair to drunken sailors, because the sailors are spending their own money."
