WINEXPERT KITS CONTINUE TO WIN!

New Products

JULY 4 2007
WineMaker Magazine’s International Amateur Wine Competition is the largest amateur winemaking competition in North America. Wine kits compete side-by-side in a blind judging across all categories with wines made from grapes and/or juices.

At the 2007 competition, wines made with Winexpert’s premium quality brands were awarded with 227 medals. This builds on the success enjoyed in 2006 when wines made with Selection, Vintners Reserve and Island Mist wine kits won 183 medals. In 2005, they were awarded 170 medals.

Wines made from Winexpert wine kits have won a total of 764 medals in the five annual WineMaker competitions that have been held so far.
