Wine bottles come in an array of styles and sizes. Add some personal flair to your wine by changing up the bottle design or select something nice as a present for someone special. Wine Corkers are essential tools for any winemaker. Not only do they make corking easy, but they can help maintain your wines' condition by securely sealing them shut. This high quality Italian Floor Corker is an ideal choice for home and semi-commercial winemakers who bottle several cases annually. This corker features chrome-plated brass jaws that fold flat when not in use for convenient storage. Furthermore, an adjustable nut on the plunger allows you to finely adjust how deep a cork is inserted into a bottle. Utilizing the appropriate type of cork for your wine is essential to prevent leaks and ensure proper sealing for long-term aging. If you plan on aging the wine, opt for larger cork sizes like #9 which seal better than smaller diameter corks. Corks come in a range of materials from plastic to metal and can be used for all types of wine including beer, fruit and even vegetable wine. To prevent contamination it's wise to sanitize your corks before use. Corks are an excellent way to add character and flair to your wine or handmade beer. For special occasions, opt for corks with wire hooded cages which give the bottle a distinctive appearance and help preserve it during long storage. According to your winemaking needs, you may require a hydrometer to take specific gravity readings during fermentation. These small tools measure liquid density compared to water and can be invaluable when trying to ascertain how much sugar is in your must or how much alcohol has been extracted at the end.

Wine Fermenter
Fermenting grapes is an economical and time-saving way to make wine at home. However, you must follow the recipe exactly for successful results or your wine may not turn out as expected. In this kit, you will receive a Wine Fermenter, Airlock, Bottle Brush, No-Rinse Cleanser, Hydrometer and 30 - 8 x 1 3/4 corks for bottling your first batch of wine. With all this equipment it should be an effortless process to bottle your first batch! A hydrometer is an easy-to-use instrument for measuring the specific gravity of liquid you are fermenting. Simply place it in your fermenter's jar, float it, and read the scale that appears on its stem where liquid meets floating part of the hydrometer. Home winemakers have several types of hydrometers to choose from, such as those made of glass or stainless steel or those composed of plastic and brass. When selecting your hydrometer, opt for one with an accurate scale that's easy to read. Some of the more expensive hydrometers also feature scales to indicate where water should be added for blending or measuring alcohol content in finished wine. It is important to remember that these devices read differently at different temperatures. Before using your fermenter, its lid, and bubbler airlock with wine, you must sanitize them. Additionally, you should disinfect any bottles or equipment that will come into contact with the wine. Additionally, you should sanitize your auto-siphon and its hoses after each use. Furthermore, replacing the hoses as they become hard and dirty is a wise idea.
Wine Starter Kit
The Wine Starter Kit with Better Bottle and Italian Floor Corke is the ideal set of equipment for a novice winemaker. It includes a glass carboy, airlock, rubber bung and large food-grade plastic funnel to transfer cleaning agents or any other additives during production. This kit is user-friendly and comes equipped with a hydrometer to measure the specific gravity of your wine. Measuring this number before beginning any processing such as rack or fining will help determine how much sediment or other parts of the original batch have made it into the final product. With this wine kit, you can craft a range of other wines such as Late Harvest, Ice Wines and Noble Rots as well as Sparkling Wine, Ports and Sherries. Why not take your skills to the next level by creating specialty wines like Nebbiolo or Viognier from late harvest harvest? Wine kits are not only an excellent way to make wine, but they're also an excellent opportunity to discover new grape-growing regions and styles. Many of the wines in Winexpert wine kits come from countries where it would be difficult to source enough juice to meet consumer demand for single varietals. Winexpert kits are popular for their Limited Edition blends. Some are named wines based on demand, while others are unique blends that won't be found at your local store or restaurant. For instance, this year's Limited Edition Triumph is a Cabernet Franc-based blend that provides an incredible opportunity to sample an uncommon varietal.
