carpe vinum!

So, my girlfriend Annie & I
both enjoy a glass of wine (or two) in the evenings.

We share conversation, relax, smoke a cigarette or two,
& just generally unwind ~ vent ~ from the days events.
We realized that we consume vast amounts of the stuff
through-out the period of a month
(which doesn't take long having only a glass or two each evening).

Needless to say, we decided to take the 'u-brew' plunge!
We have made two types now.
Both are deeeeelicious ~ I might add!

We made a 'California White Zinfandel' &
a 'Wildberry White Zinfandel'.

The whole process was ridiculously easy.
& cheap too!

$225 for 2 batches = 60 bottles.
(including bottles, corks, labeling, & shrink wrap)
That is approximately $3.75 per bottle
which, if compared to the $15+ per bottle we were spending is quite the savings!

We cleansed bottles, filled & corked 60 bottles in approx. 1/2hr!
Then came the shrink wrap tops (we chose colours)
& designed our custom bottle labels.

We wondered why we hadn't done this earlier!
& we will be doing it again ~ soon!
