If you have never considered wining, then this article may interest you to start vinting on premise, that is tho say create your own quality wines at a U-Vint establishment. And as you become seasoned you may even consider vinting your custom wines at home. Wining is a lifestyle and can be not only a very interesting hobby but also a life long passion!
Why Make Wine On Premise?
This is an easy introduction to winemaking and is no risk to you as to the quality of the finished product is guaranteed.
It is a great way to learn about different regional styles, unique blends and varietals (single grape-types).
The wine kit industry has improved immensely in the last decade regarding quality, variety and technology. Now fresh juices have a very serious run for their money!
Yes there can be a substantial cost savings but the main purpose of wine making for The Winer is to vint quality wines that can be competitive with commercially available products.
There is the pride and satisfaction of announcing to your appreciative audience that this wine is your own creation!
Select your vintner as you would any professional service. How much wining experience and product knowledge does the vintner have? Has the vintner competed in any international wine competitions? What wine making techniques are utilized?
What is the quality and variety of the raw materials. And this includes the quality of the water (especially if you are reconstituting a kit wine). The appearance of the winery: is it clean, organized and well stocked? Are you offered a winery tour? Are the staff friendly, informative and helpful? These are some of the criteria to be considered for a quality result: your finished wine.
Wine-making is not instant gratification!
Plan a wine strategy and build a wine portfolio that addresses special occasions and food experiences. The required time for maturation of your wines is one of the most important assets to a conscientious wine maker. Wine-making is a fun and sociable event. It’s a never ending learning experience and you can travel the world at your kitchen table with your friends and family. Salute! So develop your passion and become a vintner that loves…the fine art of wining!

Always great wines. We have yet to have a batch we were not thrilled with. Good enough to convince my wine-snob sister-in-law that non-commercial wines are not to be shunned! And there's generally a good conversation while you're bottling too!

Elizabeth Reemeyer, a Cambridge client and longtime friend of The Winer and Liz
says what sets The Towne Winer apart from the other DIY on-premise places is how clean everything is kept.
"When you're making a food product, cleanliness is not optional, it's essential. The music is on,
the expert is on-site if I have any questions. The Winer has great instincts
when it comes to knowing what to do to bring out the best in a varietal."
