This wine came with everything that you need to get going. Wine was great and ready to drink as soon as it was done. Great taste and should get better with age.

I enjoyed this wine so much that I am making it again. The wine is great tasting and has a bouquet that is also great. I added 3lbs of corn sugar to the fermentation process to bump the acholol content. The cornucopia kits I have made in the past have always turned out great. Try it and enjoy....

- I know it's only been a few weeks, but wanted to update as promised. a few of the corks has weeped a bit, didn't spoil the wine, but this surprised me non the less.
- I probably would have added more sugar in the begining to increase the alchohol content (currently only around 5-6%).
-Deffinetly smooths out over time. If it is like other kits I purchased, the fruitiness will fade and the Shiraz will become more prominant.
- Still recommend, and still a 5 star wine for the price.

Does it come with equipment? "no". You're not going to get a $25 carboy, primary & 30 empty bottles for this price.

I made the wine according to the directions. I've made my own wine for over three years and this is a fine kit for the price. It's a light, fruity wine; doen'st have much of the blueberry flavor, but you can tell it's there.
The color is a deep red, very pleasnt to look at. A huge hit at my most recent diner.
The wine cleared very well & did not give me any problems. I've been quite pleased with all Cornucopia kits I've purchased. I would recomend this kit. I will drink it young, so can't say much for how it tastes as it ages; I just bottled two weeks ago. If I think about it, I can update in a few months.

Maybe I was just clueless, but it would have been nice if somewhere in the description of this item it mentioned that you still need all the equipment to make wine. This product just includes the ingredients, but no hardware.
