We bought a 5 gal Chardonnay kit from Tesco and made it on 8th September.

It fermented out to dry in 6 days, and after 3-stage fining over three hours, and 24 hours to settle to perfect brightness, we had a glass last evening, 17th September!

This must be a record, and although at £22.50 plus 4 kg sugar, it's not cheap, it must also be a bargain at way under a pound a bottle, and it tastes pretty damn good too! (Better than some of their £4.50 bottles at least)!

The Home Brew Shop online does sell it a little cheaper, but to be able to grab a kit off a shelf and be drinking it in 9 days is something new!

Anyone else tried the Sauvignon Blanc, because that's next?

Woah that's quick growster!  Now I'm thinking a swift wine kit would be a good idea for a drink to keep me going until my fruit wines have cleared and matured.  Not a fan of whites so can't help you with your Sauvignon Blanc but hope it works out as well!

Well done that man...  our local Tesco's don't have a kit section so we don't get them.

Brilliant Growster!     Mine don't do it either but I've found it on Tesco Direct...

Exactly what we're up to, Damoot, as we have some blackberry chugging away somewhere!

That on-line shop is pretty fast, Cap!

I'll pm you the online people we bought from recently, they're great!

Well worth a slurp, Moggie!

They probably sell it in the Maidstone Wine centre, up behind the prison in Hardy Street but you'd have to collect it from them!
