Vintner's Harvest offers the home wine maker with premium quality, perfectly-ripe fruit any time of year. They are picked at peak ripeness and solid-packed in their natural juices in 96oz (2.7kg) cans. Vintner's Harvest Fruit Wine Bases are prepared especially for wine makers and contain no artificial preservatives.

The Vintner's Harvest Fruit Wine Base only contains pure fruit and is not a complete wine making kit. Additional equipment, additives and yeast are required and are available separately in our store. The recipes below are included on the label to make 5 US gallons (18.9L) of light wine or 3 US gallons (11.4L) of a full-flavored wine from one 96oz can. We also recommend using as much as 2 cans to make 5 US gallons for a premium wine with the highest quality flavor. This fruit base can be used in any wine recipe and can be modified to suit your taste.
