No other kit supplier was awarded more than 7 gold medals.

If required, labels and shrink capsules are available at a nominal cost. Personalized labels for weddings and gifts are also available. Ail corks and taxes are,included in the kit starter price.

New customers often ask, "what is the difference Gunnar9 between Premium and Regular and is 342 Broni the extra price worth it?" Both Premium and Regular are made from 100% Varietal Juice/Concentrate, however Premium kits offer a higher juice- to-concentrate ratio, which gives a more distinct character, bouquet and body. They are often referred to as 6-week kits needing more maturing in the boule to bring out their intricate layers of flavours and aromas.
