FAQ

"Can I make wine that is as good as store bought brands?"
Yes. It may help to allow the wine to age after taking it home.


"Is it expensive?"
Not at all. The prices for our most popular wine kits range from $110 to $210 for 30 bottles. This means you can have a bottle of quality wine for approximately $5.00.


"How long will it take?"
We offer you the choice of 4-week, 6-week and 8-week wine kits. Our 4-week wines are made from the finest blend of grape juice and concentrate. They are usually ready to drink in a few weeks after bottling. Our 6-week wines are made from premium quality grape juice blends. They are fuller bodied and require a longer aging time (at least 2 to 3 months). Our 8-week wine kits, with 100% varietal grape juice from country-specific vineyards, En Primeur has re-defined the quality expectations of the advanced winemaker and the wine kit industry alike.


"How hard is it to do?"
You will only need to come in twice during your winemaking experience. First, when you put down the batch; pouring the juice kit into the container and stirring in the ingredients. Second, when the wine is done you get to bottle your wine, cork the bottles, and add the labels. We guarantee the quality of your wine. See Winemaking link.


"What kinds of wines are available?"
Please see our Products page.






"What is the alcohol content?"
The alcohol level in our wines range from 11% to 14.5%.


"Is Mosaic Winemakers wine dry or sweet?"
Our wine menu has sweetness indicators next to the wine names. Most of our wines have a dry finish, but we can adjust the levels to your taste. Just ask.


"What are Tannins?"
Tannin comes from the skins, seeds, and stems of the grapes, and also from wood. It gives wine its longevity and character. Tannin is also found in strong tea.


"What about wine with food?"
The fuller flavoured the food, the more full-bodied the wine should be. A simply prepared chicken can match well with a light bodied white wine. If you add a rich cream sauce, then a medium to full-bodied white may be preferred.


"What about wine with cheese?"
Similar to how milk softens tea, cheese serves to round the tannic tastes of wine. Brie with sparkling wine is a good combination. Blue cheese overpowers most wines except dessert wines.


"What about wine after dessert?"
After a good meal, the sweetness of a nice dessert wine closes your palate and makes you satisfied. Remember, it's zero fat! Dark chocolate dessert with port, vanilla ice cream with sherry, and fruit tarts with Late Harvest Riesling are recommended.
