I'm new to the whole wine making deal and am more or less inquiring. I want to have a finished wine by Christmas 2011, so I feel like time is of the essence. My LHBS only includes wine kits from cellar craft and wine expert. I have been looking online on other brewing websites such as midwest supplies and see that they will ship frozen grapes from california. The cost of the kit and the frozen grapes are similar but I dont know which will taste better considering I have no experience in wine making. Can anyone offer me any suggestions to choosing a kit from my LHBS or ordering frozen grapes? I only have beer making equipment so I know I will need to buy some extra supplies for wine such as a 7 gallon bucket. I know I wont have a press for the frozen grapes but I dont mind pressing them by hand using a brew bag. Also, is it already to late to expect to have wine by Christmas to gift out/ drink? Again any suggestions would be great.
