I recently purchased a wine-making kit from Winemakers-Online because I have decided to make my own wine using the specialized Winemakers-Online wine-making process. Consequently my kitchen currently resembles Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde's laboratory on a particularly hairy day. Urban viticulture also lacks the feety romance of its traditionally bucolic inspiration: instead of a chateau and a vineyard I only have a length of plastic tubing and some sample packets of Shiraz powder. And I'll probably leave it at that, actually, since I'm thinking that it will be far easier and much less messy to simply buy cases of already made wine and then decant it into empty bottles before sticking my own photoshopped labels on, rather than spending my free evenings elbow deep in buckets of foul smelling grape pulp.

Much the best idea, home winemaking is so seventies. Our local charity shop still offers many stained books of that vintage featuring stiffly laquered ladies doing thinks with plastic piping.
