Can you use a wine BLEND or does it have to be a single type: ie Menage a` Trois red vs Merlot ?

I would think you could use a blend, but it's not an option to choose on the cards. It might be interesting to see what everyone guesses when they taste the blend. If you want to stick with the choices that are given, a blend can't be used. But my personal opinion is that it would be fun.

Any wine that comes in and bottle works equally well - provided your guests find the taste to their liking. PLEASE NOTE: This product is not a ''game'' in the sense that there are winners or losers. The sole purpose is to let guests taste several different wines and to give them the ''tools'' to understand the different flavors and charicteristics of particular wines. We found that blends work just as well as single grape varietals in this regard. You may also want to taste less well known grapes from Chile, Argentina, Uraguay or South Africa. You and your guests may well find a great tasting wine at a bargain price in doing this. Wines become expensive when a great tasting wine becomes well known... wines that are not well known can taste just as good (or better) and are available for a fraction of the cost. In our area, we have a well-known winery that makes a great Cab-Merlot-Cab Franc blend that sells for about $60 per bottle. The winery that is adjacent to their property makes the same blend and sells it at Trader Joes for $8.99 a bottle. And, in a blind test - I would challenge anyone to tell any difference between the two!

Basically it really depends on the grape. Most of your fruit type wines have a plastic container of syrup which may be strawberry that you can cut down on the amounts. The basic wine will be a blush and is not sweet until you add the fruit.

I found it didn't make a difference in flavor when compared to an undecanted glass from the same bottle. I also found that it gave a strange odor to the wine. This is made of plastic, not glass, so maybe that's why. I also noticed that the one featured here for red wine is a mini size in the picture, not the full sized one with the stand.

No Idea about wine, but I have often used broth without any issues. I'm sure wine wouldn't be an issue either.

There are 4 different general settings, 2 for white wines and 2 for red, you just have to select the the type of wine that beat matches what you want to chill. I really like this wine chiller because there is very little time needed to chill the wine when you don't plan ahead or don't have room in your refrigerator to chill the wine.

Acrylic. Recommend rinsing it right after pouring to avoid a buildup that definitely will not benefit the taste of your wine. I use mine every night. It's a great way to bring flavor out of modestly prices reds.

Not that I have figured out. Honesty just held it over my wine glass and just poured. I was craving my favorite wine and just wanted a glass lol.

Don't think there would be any reason to. Wine should be chilled (white) or not (red). It keeps it as well as a regular wine glass......but offers the peace of mind from worries about spills MUCH better. Enjoy......we have!

I usually just use the Synergy blend as what I use. But I don't think that it would hurt anything to mix and match. You may find something that you like even better.

I was a newbie and purchased the Premium kit over one and a half years ago. I don't know the difference between the two however, the Premium Kit still meets all my wine making needs. (Start small and expand as needed.) Best of luck.

5 to 6 gallons depending on which you prefer.....add more water get more wine with slightly less taste less water makes a more robust wine, just less of it.

You can buy any first, then mix them together. This one seems to be a bit easier so it may be a better choice to get started with.

I felt the kit I bought was very complicated to suit me, I have been making wine with my own grapes and add sugar, and then let it process, I have found recipes on the internet for wine making, My wine sometime is pretty good and then its not as good. I do use the big pail which comes in handy but would not have needed all that equipment. There are a lot of recipes on the internet you can use to make wine, even grape juice, or other juices.

yes,, I have used a lot of different ones. Favorite is San Francisco Bays-Rainforest blend!

White wine does not need to be aerated. So you can use this with white wine but no need.

I would say a blend; heavily floral, but on me it stays. Try a small amount first and see if you like it.

You can drink it then, but it gets better with age. I like to wait 6 mos. It also depends on the type of wine. Cabernet needs to age more than say Cianti.
