When using a wine making starter kit there is sure to be a 25-30 liter fermenting bucket with a sealable lid to lock the air out. The air lock and one way stopper should allow the carbon dioxide to escape but should prevent oxygen from entering and a long handle stirring spoon will be necessary to stir the 25-30 liter liquid content. Among other things, there should be a thermometer to provide information about the temperature as well as a glass or plastic carboy into which the wine is transferred for bulk aging and clearing.

There is also need for a siphoning tube for transferring the wine between the fermenting bucket and carboy. Some sanitizer and an instruction manual should round off the equipment related matters and there may also be a hydrometer with a sample jar plus a crown capper or wine corker. Along with the equipment come the grape concentrate, grape juice as well as sugar to complete the wine making starter kit. Some yeast, sanitizing powder as well as finings or clarifier will also come along. Some kits may also have oak chips and elderberry.
