How to enjoy and share terrific wine that is practically free of tax …
You save money with every sip!
Hey Guys,
If you enjoy wine, the provincial government absolutely loves you … since it adds a generous amount of tax to each bottle that you purchase through its retail stores. Whether it is called a “tax”, a “distribution fee” or a “mark up”, it simply makes wine more expensive for you and more profitable for them.
But, you can legally avoid most of the government-added costs, slash your price in half or less and still enjoy high-quality wine that you will be proud to serve and share.
To start saving, all you do is become involved in the winemaking process. And, by “being involved”, here is exactly what I mean …
1. You choose your wine. Just like the retail store has wines at different prices and quality levels, so do our member on premise wineries. But, whichever level you choose … whichever wine style you select … you will save money compared to similar wines offered by the bottle.
2. You start your wine by stirring the contents and sprinkling dry yeast into the “must” — that’s wine-speak for the pasteurized juice you see in a primary fermentation vessel – and then you leave the actual winemaking to the professionals.
3. You bottle your wine. Once your wine is ready you return to bottle your wine using the organized set-up and equipment provided by your on premise winery. The bottling takes about 30 minutes.
4. You take your wine home. Some wines may be enjoyed right away, others benefit from time in the bottle. When you feel your wine is ready for you, go ahead and uncork all the “fruits of your labour”.
Four more benefits you enjoy …
In addition to saving you money, your personal wine is
-
Much more natural with far fewer additives (such as sulphites) than store-bought wines,
-
Much better for the enviroment since your bottles are refilled rather than recycled or, worse, sent to a landfill,
-
Much more convenient. With your own personal wine cellar, you make fewer trips to the wine store. You save time, gas and money.
-
Much more gratifying. These days, many people want to cut their cost of living without compromising their lifestyle. A recent industry survey reveals that 17% of all wine consumed in the province of Ontario (domestic and imported) comes from prepackaged wine juices. (It’s higher in British Columbia: 23%.) Most of these wines are made on premise at licenced and regulated businesses — all of the Wineries that participate in mywinerocks.com are licenced by their appropriate provincial government authority.
Your satisfaction is 100% Guaranteed …
Since each member winery is a professionally-run business with high standards in winemaking and its business practices, you can be confident of the finished wine. Each member backs its products and services with a 100% Guarantee of Satisfaction.
Simply put, if your wine does not meet your expectations when you bottle it, your winery will let you replace it at no cost (or, just pay the price difference if you are upgrading) or you can choose to receive a full refund of your purchase price.
First time customers are pleasantly surprised by the quality of their wine. Many are “blown away.” Some will admit that their misconceptions about on premise winemaking initially prevented them from investigating it. That is a costly mistake, since you cannot start saving money until you start “making” your wine on premise.

P.S. When Canadians say “my wine rocks”, this is what they mean …
“I just got fed up with the LCBO’s prices and a friend suggested that I use an on premise winery. I was skeptical but WOW!!! was I surprised. These days, I cannot imagine wine from anywhere else.”

“I appreciate the fact that my wine has fewer additives than commercial alternatives.”
- Shannon G., London, ON
“When I first suggested making wine on premise, my husband was unenthusiastic. But, I listened to my girlfriends and made some anyway. I have built a nice personal celler and my husband robs it.”
