Misconceptions aBout u-Brew wine There are a few misconceptions people commonly have about U-Brew wine.

“one of the biggest ones,” ela randelovic remarked, “is that people think the initial grape juice is just grape juice like you’d buy from the grocery store. it’s not.”

instead, this specially sourced product comes from worldwide vineyards and can be personalized to an individual's unique taste. The range of modification varies, and one can create wines with different levels of sweetness and oakiness.

fruit and dessert wines are also available to ferment, as are port and ciders. Quality is another major misconception when it comes to brewing your own wine. in fact, the quality is superb and is often even higher than some wines from liquor stores, with significantly fewer sulphites. each brew consists of 30 bottles (half batches are also available), which brings the price to $5.50 to $8.20 per bottle of wine. By brewing your own, you leave not only with newfound knowledge and expertise, but with your own unique and personalized wine. cheers to this!
