This link is too "hobby wine supplies".
If you're registered at the wines at home forums, you can get a discount. It's run by "Duffbeer" (a.k.a. Karl), who is also a "national wine judge". He (and the others at WAH) is very helpful etc etc....... I've also seen Hop and Grape linked there, and recommended as a good place..... |

I usually use Johnson Home Wine Supplies for no reason other than it was my local home brew shop before I left my folks' place. You need to know what you want if you shop online, as the site is a little short on product descriptions, but they're helpful as anything if you phone them. They also keep second hand supplies (cheap demijohns, for a start) behind the counter, if anyone in the area wants to drop in.
I don't know how their pricing compares to others, but it doesn't bother me too much - it's still much cheaper than buying booze in a shop, and I like to think that by buying there, I'm helping to keep another small independent going (loads of brewing shops seem to have closed down in the last few years). Anyway - that's where I get my stuff. If you live locally, might be worth dropping in. |
