Follow the instructions in the pack and you'll find it easy to make a merlot wine kit at home.
Merlot wine comes from the merlot grape and makes a medium to full bodied wine that's easy to drink. This is due to the low tannins in the grape which help give the wine a smooth velvety feel with a low acidity and therefore it has a sweetness that tannins normally cancel out in higher tannin wines.
The flavours can vary depending on the climate the grapes are grown.
Warmer climates give red fruit flavours like strawberry, cherry and raspberry mixed with chocolate and some spices like clove.
Cooler climates tend to product a merlot with flavours of blackberry and blackcurrant with hints of tobacco, and an earthy tone.
Merlot also works really well when oaked, so try adding 15-30 grams of oak chips at the same time as you add your yeast and get those extra buttery, vanilla woody tones from the oak. It also adds some extra tannins so helps hide some of the sweetness that merlot is known for.
Merlot is a great wine to drink on its own or with food. It's a very versatile style of wine that pairs really well with a large variety of foods.

from 228 reviewsI made my first ever wine, blackberry wine using this bag after following David on his Youtube video, great product, less mess and easy to use. Thank you David for your help and support with my order.
Easy kit to brew. Pleasant, very refreshing apple flavour ideal for lazy summer days in the sun. Very impressed and intend to try others in this range.👍
I have been making this for years. The cheaper wines I find insipid, the more expensive unjustifiable for my use.
The only criticism is that everything is in plastic bags these days. Having loads of plastic bottles proved easier the handle and recycle.
I was making the s.g.platinum until I made the switch, the females of the household never noticed the difference. Although there is slightly more involved in making the gold it is well worth the saving in my opinion. Watch your headspace, with these fast wines they can erupt if warmed to the recommended temperature. I tend to start it off on the cool side until the surge settles.
Very pleased great item
Goods received quickly and as described thank you. Will be back in the future. 👍🙂
It takes a bit longer to ferment than the cheaper kits, but it does create a very nice wine. I will be doing more kits from OTH in the coming months.
I bought this cider tin. I have wanted to have a go at making myself some cider/ beer as I have never made anything before. So I got myself a kit and bought this tin . Stir ,stir , cider enhancer . Topped off with 300 g of sugar and 18 litres of water. Added the yeast and waited a week. . Then I had to switch it to a new vessel and stir in the fruit flavour . I did not bottle this cider , I put it in a corny keg and force carbonated the liquid. It was ready just in time for a bbq I do for my work mates 3 times a year. I do have my own proper beer pumps . I put on Stella , strong bow dark fruit . Fruli strawberry beer, Guinness , and strawberry and lime kopparberg. Along with this home made cider through a Lindr machine. All the other beers were ignored and this cider was drained before the clock struck 6 pm . I got 1 glass . But I am pleased to say I was very impressed with this drink . Buy it . You will not be disappointed. Top tasting cider.
Nice to have bottles all the same, good quality well packaged. Shape of bottles fits corker very well also.
It was the first kit I ever did, it’s a quality lager, I always make it 19 litres so it’s a bit darker and quite a bit stronger lol happy brewing everyone
Great product
The resultant brew was very successfully received my only issue was that there were no labels included!
nice drink, ands saves a fotrune compared to shop prices. these kits are teriffic value for money, and i make them in a fortnight. sugar cost included, works out about £1 a bottle, compared to shop prices(in scotland anyway). no more shop buying wine for me anyway
This system is ideal for bottling, allowing both hands to be free. Simple, no mess, and minimal cleaning up.
Excellent service and fast delivery thanks.I am making a 2 can batch of cider as an experiment .
