Ferment on Premises - Questions Part 2
May, 2019 Filed in: Wine making
In March we answered some common questions about making wine in our store. Now that we have been making wine for almost 6 weeks here are some of the questions we have encountered.
What exactly does the customer have to do? Essentially with making wine in Ferment on Premise, the customer owns the wine. And we are providing the service to make it. The AGLC requires the customer to be involved in starting the wine, but we are allowed to assist in the process, particularly with regard to lifting. This will take 10-15 minutes to start a batch. We take over from there, stabilizing, racking and filtering your wine. We will then make an appointment for you to come in and bottle your wine. Again we are allowed to assist.
Can I use my own bottles? Yes! Please bring in your own bottles. Of course if you require bottles you can buy them from us.
Am I allowed to sample my wine before bottling? Yes, the AGLC allows you to test your wine prior to bottling. Each owner of the wine may sample up to 120 ml of the wine. After all it is your wine!
What does the Fermenting Fee include? We provide all the services in making your wine right through until the bottling stage. Things such as bottles, corks and labels are not included unless they are provided.
