The Oenophile's Personal Winery.

This is the automated home winery that vinifies up to four cases of wine using traditional winemaking techniques combined with modern oenological technology, conducting the entire post-harvest process in its stainless steel chamber, cold soaking, pressing, and fermenting the grapes, and aging the wine for six to twelve months (or less, depending on personal preference). Immediately following harvest, Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are crushed, frozen, and sent to your home, ensuring your vintage is made using only the finest premium grapes. The system automatically monitors the entire winemaking process including fermentation, Brix (grape sugar level), and temperature, and wirelessly transmits the information to a PC, allowing you to log, graph, and analyze the information using the included software, ensuring optimal conditions for your preferred wine taste. It prompts you when to smell and taste the fermenting must or press down the grape skins, and the software has easy-to-follow instructions, offering techniques to produce vintages with specific characteristics from bold and fruity to delicate and silky, and the software's interface allows you to share winemaking tips and results with a global community of fellow users. The wine maker automatically controls the fermentation heat and the aging temperature using thermoelectric heating and cooling, and the grape press automatically lifts the grape pomace out of the basin, ensuring ease of clean up. Includes an oak storage barrel for additional aging, siphon, and 48 bottles. With an easy-to-read LED and 4-button control panel. Requires Windows Vista, XP, or 2000 and a USB port for wireless key. Install in a ventilated area. Plugs into AC. 4' H x 3' W. (90 lbs.)
