Many people want to learn more about fruit wines, but buying a whole bottle of wine without knowing if you will like it can be a pricey proposition. Maybe that is why wine tasting parties are so popular. For bringing one bottle of wine, guests get to taste many others and find out about new favorites.

The Plan

First draw up your guest list. On a nice summer evening, you can invite as many people as will fit in your yard. That guarantees a lot of wine variety and not a big mess if someone spills their drink.

Making wine is one of those true art forms that can change the way you look at the world and the people in it. This is because you are truly being in charge of the creation of something grand and of something special, with your own talents and will be fully integrated into every bottle of wine. Each bottle you create will have its own flavour and texture because you created it; it will have special value which a price tag cannot be simply put on and will inhabit the shelves and storage facilities of only the greatest of wine masters as their worship your invention.

Brew King Technical Bulletin, July 2003. All Rights reserved. All Brew King wine kits contain metabisulphite, and we recommend sanitising winemaking equipment with sulphite solution. Sulphite works by releasing free sulphur dioxide (FSO2), which inhibits yeast, mould and bacteria.

Sulphite is also added directly to wine after fermentation, to prevent oxidation. Oxidation in wine follows the same pattern in an apple slice exposed to air—the wine browns and takes on a flat ‘cardboard’ taste. Sulphite binds with oxygen, preventing browning and flavour loss.

The use of sulphite goes back more than 500 years. The Dutch popularised it during the 16th century by shipping only sulphite-treated wines.
