Strawberry - Wine Kit

Enjoy making and drinking Winexpert's Strawberry Island Mist wine kit! Bright and refreshing, aromas and flavors of fresh strawberries are backed by White Merlot that lays the groundwork for this wine. Enjoy exuberant strawberry notes, tangy acidity, and a crisp, delicate finish.
NOTE: Island mist kits have an average ABV of 6% and we often have customers ask how they can add little more alcohol and body to the wine. We have found the best way to "boost" your ABV is with 2-2.5 pounds of corn sugar and 1 liter of grape concentrate. Adding only corn sugar will increase the alcohol, however may leave a "hot" taste in the wine. Corn sugar combined with grape concentrate increases alcohol while still maintaining the wine's body and flavor.
How to: This method will increase the ABV of an Island Mist wine kit to approx 11%. Add and mix in both 2-2.5 pounds corn sugar and 1 liter of grape concentrate during Step 1 after adding the main juice pack and before topping up to the 6 gallon mark with water and adding yeast.
- Red Concentrate should be used to boost Red wines.
