oddest place to find a wine kit?

I bought a Chardonnay kit at Cabelas....

Tater:

Don't know where you live, but wine kits at hardware stores (and gas stations and drug stores) is pretty common in Canada, especially smaller towns.

Joe:

I guess Cabelas is encouraging you to relax at the trail's end with a glass of wine.

It's common to find the kits and the equipment you need at a hardware store. It is after all just a set of tools or "HARDWARE".

I've often seen them under Christmas trees.

I live in Central Maryland about 7 miles from the West Virginia State Line. In Charles Town, WV concentrate and wine making supplies were sold AT THE RADIO SHACK STORE. Unfortunately the store no longer exists.

one of the reasons that i thought it was odd was that there were no winemaking kits.

today when i went to pick up some welding rod the kits were there, musta been outa stock.

still seems weird. "Yeah, I'd like some 1/8" 6013, a pair of cup style gas welding goggles and a chardonay kit please, Oh, and some cattle dewormer!"
