Hi Mike, not sure what state you are in, but in Melbourne we have several wine supplies stores. the proliferation of vineyards has made access to equipment quite easy. The italian food stores often sell winemaking equipment as well. You could try www.australianwinemakers.com.au. I think they sell in most states and i have bought a lot of equipment and supplies off them in the past. Good luck!

That was great reading, something I would love to do one day, very inspiring, making wine just as my late father had done here in my home. A fine way to enjoy lifes pleasures, making wine, that has been manufactured for thousands of years in the past from all over the world, and will be done for many more to come.

I wonder how many people are home wine makers? I am growing my own grapes (mainly Italian reds) in my backyard as well. I set up my shed quite cheaply, a press is the only absolutely necessary expensive item, mine is second hand. I think oak barrels and variable volume fermenters are an overkill for beginners. I use food grade plastic and glass demijohns. Some knowledge is required, it is available on the internet, or buy a book on home wine making, amazon has a good selection.

You could wax lyrical about James Squire Porter… The traditional boatman’s beer has a rich flavour, hints of roasted coffee and bitter malt chocolate. It’s a perfect flavour combination with chocolate mousse and an open fire.
