As far as I know, Brehm does not ship unprocessed grapes, if you are lookng
for the "complete" winemaking experience.

The reds are closest, in that you get pails of crushed and destemmed fruit,
with the skins. One pail will yield about 3 to 3 1/3 US gallons of juice
when pressed.The most expensive red I saw from the Vancouver distributor I
deal with was a Rutherford cab sauv at $250 CDN per pail. That works out to
about $15 a bottle, your cost, not including the barrel you will want for
aging this beauty. ;-)

The whites are shipped as pressed and settled juice (and you now get a bonus
liter, 20 liters total). Top price is the Sangiacomo chardonnay at about
$200 CDN.

Generally, the Pacific Northwest products are better value and still good
quality.

All products are shipped frozen, and need a few days to thaw out.
