Non-alcoholic winemaking ingredient kit. This DIY kit contains grape juice and wine yeast and contains no alcohol as sold. You ferment it at home to make your own wine in about 30 days. For home winemakers of legal drinking age.

Elegance in Every Sip. Passion in Every Drop.

Experience the depth and sophistication of a French Cabernet Sauvignon style wine with this refined and expressive wine kit. Crafted for home winemakers and DIY beverage creators, this style offers rich layers of blackcurrant, dark cherry, and plum, accented by classic notes of cedar, tobacco leaf, and subtle earthy minerality.

Inspired by traditional French Cabernet-driven wines, this style delivers firm tannins, balanced acidity, and a structured body. The result is a bold yet polished red wine with a long, expressive finish and the elegant character often associated with classic French red wine blends.
