Anyone Used Alexander's Concentrates?

In addition to the usual popular kits with a bag of concentrate and all the additives, my local winemaking supply shop sells Alexander's Sun Country concentrates in a 96 oz. can. Two cans are recommended for a 5 gallon batch of wine, which involves adding about 8 cups of sugar, and adjusting for acid, adding yeast nutrient, etc. I'm wondering how they compare to BrewKing, RJ Spagols, etc.



The main reason I'm considering Alexander's is that they offer Muscat (Moscato), my wife's favorite varietal. I cannot find any kit for Muscat / Moscato.



Thanks for any information.

Alexanders is not high quality from my experience. I have used them from time to help fruit wines. Tim

Tim,

Thanks for the response. I did purchase two cans of Muscat (Moscato) since I cannot find any kit with that varietal. It will be interesting to see how it turns out.

While I've never made any wine from their concentrates, I've made a couple of wines from their sterile-juice brance, called "Home Wine". Based on the results from that, I'd agree with Tim.

I believe I have seen a Cellar Craft Kit that is Orange Muscat. You can look at cellarcraftwine.com to see for sure.
