Winemaking Supplies

I used to make my own wine, and would like to make some this year (plum, do you think? If damson is good, why not plum?). But I no longer have any equipment, and the shop I used to go to is no more, there's a huge shopping mall where it used to be ... any ideas where I can get the stuff I need??

I'm lucky to have a fantastic winemaking and homebrewing supply shop just a few miles away - The Brew Shop. But I don't get all my supplies from there. For example, you can scrounge 5 gallon buckets from chip shops and take aways. They get their oil delivered in them and are happy to give them away. You can sometimes find demijohns in charity shops and on Freecycle.

Big branches of Boots sometimes have a homebrewing section, and so does eBay.

If all else fails you could try one of the online winemaking suppliers, such as:

Art of Brewing

Brew It Yourself

North Devon Homebrews

If you Google you'll find many more. Good luck with your home winemaking - plum wine sounds lovely.
