Vino Italiano Riesling,
I made this Riesling wine kit from Vino Italiano and am very happy with the results. Keep in mind that this is a value priced wine kit and can’t be compared to a primium 16 liter wine kit. But I am very happy with the results. This is a refreshing, fruity, dry, white wine. I made it a 5 gallon kit instead of the 6 gallons per the instructions and have found this kit to have surprisingly great flavor. These Vino Italiano kits are better than two buck chuck and they are fun to make. I used to drink Trader Joes wines in the $5-$7 range for everyday enjoyment. I think the Vino Italiano wines are better than what I had been drinking. Adjust your expectations and you will be very happy with the results.

|Bang for the Buck,
Another relatively decent wine for the money. I find that this wine needed some sweetening to create a bolder and obviously less dry taste and to bring out some of the fruit flavors, however at $1.50 a bottle and to be enjoying it in a mere 4-6 weeks is well worth the time and labor. I do think that the description by the manufacturer should make you aware that you will need a primary bucket (a 7 gallon pail) and some kind of secondary vessel (six gallon total type of jug i.e. water jugs)along with an airlock ot two. a little $$ ($10 or so) but can be reused just about forever.

|Good kit for the money!,
I still have this batch “in the works” but so far it looks to be one of the best batches I have ever made. I did two modifications: I added one Granny Smith apple plus two pears (minus the peels) to the batch when I started it, and then I also stopped the fermentation when the SG was at 1.02 as the alcohol was at 14% and this left a residual sugar in it which is leaving it sweeter (used crushed Campden tablets to stop the fermentation)(I also made it about 5 1/2 gallons as opposed to 6). I am about 1 week from bottling but so far the flavor is awesome – distinct fruit flavors, cross between semi-sweet and semi-dry; very tasty. I also made a Chardonnay which also came out well, and am getting ready to order two more Vino Italiano kits. These are the best deals on the market when the free shipping is included. Highly recommend!
