  This is a wine kit that claims to take only 7 days. I had to special order and ship it from the UK (http://www.thebrewshop.com).

''"!BelVino wine kits are based on dried fruit, herbs, and berries. Fermentation and clearing are both extremely fast - your wine will be ready to drink in only 7 days. All !BelVino wine kits are very easy to make and you only need to add sugar and water."''

Put an airlock on the fermentor so I can more easily see if the batch has finished fermentation ... it hasn't.

__Day Seven (4-Dec-2005):__ #DaySeven
Still fermenting. So much for their claim to a seven day wine kit. I'm still hoping this will be done early enough to be given as Christmas gifts.
