Getting Started

When you visit our shop you really open up a world of possibilities. You can choose from a huge range of wine styles from around the world and a variety of quality of wines - just like at your off license store.

Making your wine at an “on-premises” winemaking store

In the provinces of British Columbia, Ontario, Saskatchewan and New Brunswick, you can make wine at a “wine on-premises” store. The wine on-premises retailers are licensed to provide you with wine-making services and make it even more simple to select and make the wine that is right for you. We from Making Your Wine want to bring this concept in to Ireland and are licensed by Vineco to do so.

Once you have chosen which wine you would like to make it’s as easy as 1-2-3.

Start your wine. Your winemaker will bring you the wine kit contents and all you have to do is sprinkle the yeast onto the juice. This starts the process of fermentation turning the juice to wine.
Time & Patience. The process will take 4 to 8 weeks depending on the quality level you have chosen. Your winemaker will inform you when your wine will be ready to bottle and will book an appointment for you to return to the store.
Bottle and label your wine. Bottling the wine usually takes around 40 minutes. Once completed you cork them, label them, and put shrink caps on the top to dress up your bottle in style!

Of course in between steps 1-3 your winemaker is busy using their skills to ensure the fermentation goes smoothly and is racked and cleared, ready for bottling. It’s only this easy for us - the consumer!

Does the fact that the customer does the sprinkling get around the laws about making/selling alcohol?

No it does not revenue are pretty clear on this

10. Relief from Alcohol Products Tax for Certain Homemade Alcohol Beverages.
Subsection 77 (f) of the 2003 Act provides for relief from Alcohol Products Tax in certain circumstances in respect of wine, Beer, or other fermented beverages, the alcohol content of which is entirely of fermented origin. [u:3o75u3xs]The relief is confined to such alcohol products produced solely by a private individual in a private premises for consumption by the producer or by the family or guests of such producer, and [b:3o75u3xs]not produced or supplied for a consideration.[/b:3o75u3xs][/u:3o75u3xs] [b:3o75u3xs]Relief does not apply if brewing takes place on a commercial premises.[/b:3o75u3xs]

The process was only made legal and passed into law in British Columbia last year after a test case was taken against the commercial premises and there was such a public outcry, the legislation was updated to permit under licence, but the commercial premises involved still had to pay their costs.

Closer to home there was a recent ruling across the water against Ritchies, the group that does Beaverdale and Solomun Grundy.

Case was slightly different in that premises were not necessarily supplying the wine that yeast was pitched into but yet again
"...the wine was not home made and not produced by a private individual; the customer took no part in the production process."

I don't like pissing on peoples chips, especially start-ups, but somebody hasn't done their homework here <!-- s:( --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_sad.gif" alt="" title="Sad" /><!-- s:( -->

Homework done
This is not brewing.
Nobody is brewing beer or wine in my shop.
To be honest never heard people brewing wine <!-- s:roll: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_rolleyes.gif" alt="" title="Rolling Eyes" /><!-- s:roll: -->
The customer is making the wine kit himself after buying it.
The customer also have to come back for the bottling phase which is completely done by himself.

Since it is done in the back of my shop, not in the commercial part of my shop,it is a private surounding.
If somebody is making wine and you enter my shop, you will ot see that that person is making wine.

Short version
Customer buy s the wine kit
I provide hime a complete course how to make it.
Customer makes his wine kit.
We store it for him in a heated staorage room
Customers return for bottling and take it home

If it was not legal.......we would not have been on Dragons Den. And to be in that show, it has to be legal and you need papers and proof for everything
before breaking something down, first come by and listen.
