Couldn't find this posting last few times, some sales info on kit and equipement posted @ http://www.sinoquebec.com/bbs/showthread.php?476692 posting #52.

All wine kits at Costco: http://www.costco.ca/wine-beer-k ... =http:CatalogSearch

Paklab Vino Europa appears to be still at $69.99/$76.99 for duo kits, currently on specials in WESTERN CANADA (ONLY) for $20 less on selected Duo/bigger wine kits. Yes, it means $69.99-$20=$49.99(duo kits), no tax in Manitoba/Alberta. www.mywinemonvin.com. Paklab used to run Western Canada specials right after Eastern specials, I'm no longer sure if they do promotions in Quebec. Reminder: Vino Europa is 10-20% lighter than Argentia Ridge, only suitable for those who don't mind light wine.

Per previous post, I no longer suggest buying Argentia Ridge, I consider it over priced for its quality. However, TO EACH HIS OWN, make your own choice.

** Season for fresh graps now or soon, see listing of local retailers for wine making graps @ http://www.sinoquebec.com/bbs/showthread.php?622118

*** 特别通知：下周我们去工厂直销 买8个wine kit ，如果有朋友没车又需要 wine kit 的话，可以先预付$ 然后到地铁提 wine kit。有车的朋友欢迎一起去。PM 联系。

Besides Chateau Private by AR www.argentiaridge.com, Costco also sells Vino Europa duo kits by Paklab www.mywinemonvin.com.  Both offer discounts every few months, they often promote at SAME time.  ~$50-57+GST/duo after discount.  If interested, subscribe to AR on its web, for VE SMS the word MYWINE to 76000.

it's 49$ or 49.99(+QST) . . . .  The receipt lost.  

Fall 2014/Winter 2015, I'm interested in sharing Vino Europa(please contact me before buying, few months if possible):
- Syrah/Zinfandel (Red, I only want Syrah),
- Chardonnay/Semillon (White, I only want Semillon)

Formula of Vino Europa changed ~1 year ago, I don't know new taste.  Apparently Oak is removed from box to control cost, buy 30-100 grams of Oak from wine making supplies store yourself and add to must on day 1.  Old package include ~40grams for Red, ~20 grams for White.

刚刚安省朋友要去 Costco 吃午饭，顺道帮我看看:
*** That Ontario Costco ***
-  Only carries Borolo/Cabernate Sauvignon (Red), Orvieto/Chardonnay (White)
-  8.1L/10Kg each bag, hence x2 for weight
-  Regular price $49.99, -$10 (不需要这么便宜巴！便宜得太吓人了！)

Above price is too good to be true.  Based on basic principal of "u get what u pay for" (very true in Wine Kits world) . . . .  AR is priced ~$50-55, VE now only $39.99 after discount (no tax in Ontario, + 9.5% QST in Quebec) . . . . . Quality of Vino Europa is still a lot worst than Argentia Ridge.

PL Quebec  Costco: LAVAL (North Shore), TROIS RIVIERES O, TERREBONNE, MARCHE CENTRAL (Montreal),  SAINT JEROME, BOUCHERVILLE (South Shore), CHICOUTIMI, DRUMMONDVILLE

*** No Oak in box, buy 30-40 grams of Oak chip/shaving from wine making supplies store.  Old package contains 40g for red, 20g for white ***
*** Add Oak before or after yeast when u start must, no need to stir.  Stir if u like, not much difference.  ***

一家打折, 别家舍命双陪.  Wine Kit 重死人，运来运去，苦了店员！ I'm guessing Paklab continued the discount to get rid of stock instead of return shipment to factory.  Hence AR "restart" their promotion right away.

In-store sales on Chateau Private 4 wk kits only - Merlot, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon (only in selected stores) and Chardonnay.

Web sales on both CP 4 wks and Coast Reserve 6 wks.  CP regularly web price $99.99 - $15.00 = $84.99 (shipping included) - Pinot Noir (red), Pinot Grigio (white), White Zinfandel Blush (pink)

AR Quebec Costco: - Anjou (Montreal East End), Boisbriand, Brossard (South Shore), Candiac, Pointe-Claire (Montreal West Island), Québec City, Sherbrooke, Ste-Foy, St-Hubert (South Shore).

Discount in Costco stores.  Most likely Paklab offers similar discount at different Costco, as in the past.

This time AR offers -$14 on:
CHÂTEAU PRIVATE SELECTION 4 WEEK 7L WINE KITS
- Classic Merlot (select locations)
- Classic Shiraz (select locations)
- Classic Cabernet Sauvignon (select locations)
- Classic Chardonnay (select locations)

Have fun!

Not much details in email received, just discount for Vino Europa Duo Wine Kits in Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, etc.

For those of u who are travelling in Summer with your own car, u can always pickup wine kit in other provinces than Quebec.  U will save the 0.95% GST, i.e. no tax in Ontario, New Brunswick, not sure about Nova Scotia.
