Ready to become a winemaker? Let’s dive into how in-store winemaking can help you master the king of reds.
Why More Wine Lovers Are Choosing In-Store Winemaking
It gives you access to professional-grade equipment and expert guidance—no guesswork, no mess. You start your batch, let the experts handle fermentation, and then return when it’s time to bottle your masterpiece.
The biggest perk? Cost savings.
Making wine in-store means you can enjoy premium Cabernet Sauvignon—a luxury winemaking experience without the luxury price tag. With in-store winemaking you save 50% or more compared to the liquor store!
Cabernet Sauvignon: The King of Reds
What makes Cabernet Sauvignon the go-to choice for red wine lovers? It’s bold, complex, and built to impress. Think rich blackberry and blackcurrant notes, velvety tannins, and hints of vanilla and spice. With its deep flavours and excellent aging potential, Cabernet is the perfect vintage to craft, customize, and savour.
It’s also a food-pairing superstar—grilled steak, lamb chops, aged cheeses, or even a dark chocolate dessert all bring out the best in this classic red.
At Wine Sense we have 6 different Cabernets and 3 Cabernet blends to choose from!
