You can make them too!
Although the Winexpert kits are excellent, Dave
still likes to experiment and see how they can be enhanced. He
enjoys entering his wines in winemaking competitions and seeing the
judges' comments.
Results are in for the
2010
Competition!
From April 16 to 18, 2010 a record total of 4,508
different wines were judged in the 2010 edition of the WineMaker
International Amateur Wine Competition.
