Siciliano's Market News, November 9 Edition

Each year Winexpert releases five super-premium kits from the world’s great wine regions that are not part of the company’s regular portfolio.

These kits are available only on a pre-order basis. Each kit yields six gallons of wine which translates into thirty 750 ml bottles.
