Midwest Supplies Wine Cellar Subscription

What's in the box: Expect a wine recipe kit, likely from brands such as Master Vintner, Winexpert or RJS Craft Winemaking, with what you need to make a batch of wine at home.

Midwest Supplies is a US retailer of home winemaking and homebrewing gear, and wine is its main draw. The store carries over 180 wine recipe kits from brands including Master Vintner, Winexpert and RJS Craft Winemaking. Styles range from dry reds like a limited release Niagara Merlot to sweet novelty wines such as a caramel apple martini blend and a chocolate raspberry dessert wine. Beginners have a clear place to start with the Master Vintner Starter Kit, which pairs a full set of equipment with easy instructions. The site also publishes how-to articles on topics like fruit wines and choosing yeast for hard cider. The subscription itself is less clear. The site does not explain how the Wine Cellar Subscription works, how often it ships, whether you can pick your kits or what it costs, so check those terms carefully before you sign up. If you already enjoy making wine from kits, a regular order from a store with this much selection could keep your fermenter busy year round. If you want a curated surprise box with tasting notes and extras, the missing details make that hard to promise. Standard shipping is free on orders of $125 and over, and many wine kits will get you close to that on their own.
