Fruit Wine Kit - SG Wines

Turn your favourite fruits into delicious homemade wine with our Fruit Wine Kit.

This kit includes all the essential winemaking agents you need to turn almost any fruit into a unique, flavourful wine. Simply gather and prepare your fruit, add the required sugar, and follow the straightforward instructions to create 6 bottles (4.5 litres) of one-of-a-kind wine.

Fruit-winemaking allows for a lot of experimentation and there is no 'standard' recipe, but to get you started, we've created the following recipes using some commonly used fruits. For each recipe:

1. Gather the amount of fruit and sugar as indicated.
2. Prepare your fruit following the fruit preparation guidelines below.
3. Proceed to follow the Fruit Wine Kit Instructions to create your perfect batch.

Once you feel comfortable, feel free to play around with different fruit combinations and weights, and additional ingredients.

About the Brand

SG Wines has been supplying 7 day wine kits since its inception as Solomon Grundy in 1995, when it became the first 7 day wine kit to launch the UK with the strapline "Started on Monday – Drunk by Sunday".

Quickly established as one of the most popular budget wine kits on the market, Solomon Grundy expanded in 2000 with our Gold and Country range additions providing more choice to consumers.

Platinum completed the SG portfolio in 2013, launching as our premium range of variety style wines with a higher quality and bigger volume of grape juice concentrate, and no need for additional sugar.

Our in-house product development team meticulously develop each recipe for the SG Wines range.

From the yeast and nutrient blends that allow for speedy fermentation, to the flavouring add-backs developed to replicate the flavour profiles of varietal wines, our ingredients have been specially selected through extensive testing in our state-of-the-art lab.

Once the ingredients are developed, our kits are then safely packed at our BRC AA+ Accredited Factory.

When it all comes together, the ingredients developed for each style allow you to create a wine that hits the mark, in just 7 days.

In 2022 we embarked on a journey to bring Solomon into the 21st century with a full rebrand.

The goal for the rebrand was to make the brand more modern, relevant, and appealing, whilst keeping the brand and portfolio recognisable.

We decided to keep the equity we have in the sub-brand names, Country, Classic, Gold, and Platinum, and all of the wine styles within these ranges.

However, the main brand “Solomon Grundy” no longer felt right for our mission. And so, “SG Wines” was born.

With a logo not dissimilar to Solomon’s, and packaging that better represented a wine brand, we feel we have struck the right balance between new and old.
