I have just aquired a youngs Cabernet Sauvignon 900g ( 6 bottle ) kit. Dose anyone know what sort of alcohol content when complete? Any hints or tips as this is my first wine brew? I have made a few real ales with great results but trying something a tad different this time. Any input greatly appreciated. Thanx

    Youngs say it is intended to come out at around equivalent to similar commercially available wines, so you could expect it to be between 11 and 13% as a general guide. Wine brewing is similar in many ways, make sure everything is clean and sterilised, add the yeast and leave to ferment, and then bottle and wait. The longer you leave it to mature the better, as the flavours improve. Often they say ready in a week, but the longer you leave it the better it will taste
