Collection of Easy Caps(= reusable top seal), from left to right:
- regular 750ml wine bottle;
- 750 juice bottle with easy cap;
- 500ml beer bottle with easy cap;
- 250ml ?? bottle with easy cap;
- 250ml beer bottle with 'easy cap' bought from dollar store; 3 unit per pack = $1+taxes.

(These caps could be used on regular wine bottles but need squeezing; fit extremely well with all sizes of Corona beer bottles = easy in; easy out)

Costco kits are a bit below table wine quality.  However, table wine quality are priced at $65-80/kit.  One friend said it`s not worth the $difference after a taste.  U will need to try it to know for yourself.  While u think Costco wine are OK, do enjoy them as long as u could.  Once u move up, u cannot go back.

Furthermore, 通常葡萄酒是会越变越好, about 6-12 months。Wine will start to decline after ~2 years.  Hope u will come back in few months to let u know if your wine improves。Thanks in advance!

想请教
1。用葡萄酿酒时，什么时候密封？
2.用葡萄酿的酒怎样长期储存？去年酿的放了一两个月后都变酸了。

据说地下室储存最好。

Temporary answers:
"1。用葡萄酿酒时，什么时候密封？"
Day 5-7, details below:
=> Day 5-7 (hydrometer below 1.010), seal with airlock = only CO2 out, no air can get in.
=> ~Day 21 (wine is already done), max. 2" air space below airlock+bung (in carboy)
=> bottle with cork:
- air space below cork 0.25-0.5" max. or is it 1" :confused: :p
- store wine sideway, for wine to keep cork wet all time = seal bottle at all time.

"2.用葡萄酿的酒怎样长期储存？去年酿的放了一两个月后都变酸了。"
see "bottle with cork" above.

相信L同学用葡萄酿酒， 麻烦知道的同学 提供更好的和正确的答案！！

At last AR bring additional flavors again (Normally they do it once a year only, ~Feb or :confused: ):
- Classic Chianti (Red)
- Classic Pinot Grigio (White)

January 05-17, 2010 - Sherbooke, Quebec (City), Montreal (where?), QC
February 02-14, 2010 - Sainte-Foy, Brossard, Pointe-Claire, Saint-Jerome, QC

The above looks COMPLETELY weird to me.  I only post partial info, please double check their web site.

No information from PL, but normally both companies hold their Sales on identical dates but different Costco.

Wine merchant Ducasse and the Sieur d'Argues group are convicted in France for selling fake Pinot Noir (from cheaper syrah and merlot) to Constellation and E&J Gallo in US.
