    At the mo i'm prefering my bottle of wow's, sat drinking a glass of "peachy" one at mo, just added a tin of peaches to it. Think the youngs chardonnay will be alot nicer in a few weeks/months!!!

    It is quite nice doing blind tastings and asking people "which came from Sainsbury" - knowing the correct answer is 'none of them' because you have been toooo tight to buy any !!

    I made a SOLOMAN GRUNDY ROSE 7 day kit..........followed instructions but did leave @ 3 days before bottling after racking.
    Drank some as soon as it was ready and was nice.....drank some a week later and BL**DY lovely........gave some to family/friends and so far all good reports.

    Ahhh... this is the one that I started in between Xmas and New Year, that I recently filtered... I couldn't remember what it was called

    I think its quite nice...a very decent quaffing wine, in my opionion.
    The Sol Grundy Gold Chablis Blush is an excellent rose, very much on par with a white zin, certainly not to be confused with the standard 5 day kit's.

    I have to agree with Duff here, I'm drinking the soloman grundy, and its nasty as hell, I've had to add some Grape juice to my glass before drinking, making me gag otherwise

    I have a Medium Red Soloman Grundy, it's been going 9 days, I'm going to try to mature it some, but I'm not holding out for anything spectacular. I got it as a present, my auntie and uncle said "We got you the cheapest one"

    A quality kit is like 15-20 pound more grrrrr, better quality, plus you don't have to add sugar
