各位酒友，昨日在Costco看到酿酒用的wine kit在打折，71.49$-14$=57.49$，划算。我买了一盒。

天暖了了，别忘了开始酿酒了。

补充：
1.  相信魁省有GST，安省[color="Red"]没有税。好像是： ($71.49-$ 14.00)+($71.49*0.085)=$63.57/一盒
2.  每盒有两个 wine kits，因此可酿~2x30=60瓶酒。 （根据添加的水量，平均每批 可酿~28.5-31瓶酒）
3.  瓶塞，瓶盖和标签 包括在盒内，平均每瓶酒（750毫升）~$1.06。
4.  喜欢白葡萄酒的，只有 Chardonnay 一个选择。喜欢红葡萄酒的，7公升浓缩的有:
  .  .  a.  喜欢柔和的，选 Merlot;
  .  .  b.  喜欢果味的，选 Cabernet Sauvignon;
  .  .  c.  喜欢味重的，选 Shiraz; 此外还有更厚的 Amarone （更多浓缩果汁，23公升，比较昂贵）。

这次打折 到4月17日完，详情参见 http://argentiaridge.com/cgi-bin ... =yes&news_id=31

i bought Chardonnay. i didnt see red+white package.

montrealpost

no red+white package, only 1 varietal(=flavor) in each box, 2 bags identical.  All boxes look similar, u need to check the writings(= "Chardonnay" or "Merlot).  Sort of small patch of green background color for white, all red color for red wine.  If u haven't open your box, return for exchange/refund.

May be someone can make wine with u, or help u out.  谁有兴趣买或一起酿酒的，请直接与Crystal_mtl 联系。（她没有酿酒设备）

i made some sauvignon blanc before and it was good. still have a couple of bottles.

Wine from 7L ->~10L concentrates are only good for 2 years, most start to deteriorate after 20 months.

Sauvignon Blanc is a bit sour, Chardonnay is a bit aromatic.  A friend of mine love the AR Chardonnay, I never like Chardonnay myself.  If u were to make it:
- Commercial Chardonnay, some are Oak, some aren't.  I believe u have two ~1/2 size oak packs* in your box, your choice whether to use it.
-  For Chinese, I suggest adding wine conditioner(special sugar syrup for wine making).

*  default oak quantity for white wine is:-  50% oak quantity of red wine.

I'm OK w/ a little bit sour. I'll try w/ and w/o oak for the Chardonnay.

AR changed boxes last year. Picture below are old boxes, new ones look similar.  Sort of:

1st Red box - that's the Costco 7L Red Wine Kit
2nd White box - I don't know Red
3rd Green box - that's the Costco 7L White Wine Kit
4th White box - I don't know White
5th Dark box - I don't know Fruit wine

The new boxes [color="Red"]may all be red similar to the 1st box, u need to READ THE WORDS right underneath the picture in the middle of the box.  Those words are the Varietal, e.g. Chardonnay.  Around Chardonnay [color="Red"]MAY change into a yellow or green background.

How does your box look like?  
Do u know if u pay $63.57 or ($71.49-$ 14.00)+([color="Red"]$57.49*0.085)? (<- don't run around for this $, only if u have info off hand)
