How can it take just 7 days to make wine?
All SG Wines kits include specially selected yeast nutrients which speed up the yeast’s performance during fermentation. When at the right temperature (20-25°C, 25°C being optimal), fermentation should finish in just 5 days.
The dual-stage wine finings included take 1-2 days to clear the wine as long as it was previously thoroughly degassed – this is a very important step so ensure it’s done properly!
If all goes well your wine will be ready to bottle and drink after 7 days, but it will significantly improve after 3-4 weeks and will continue to improve beyond this if stored in a cool, dark place.
