2 year old Wine kit

[EineProsit]

I have an unopened wine kit that’s over 2 years old. Is it trash?

Should be fine, go for it.

If it's sealed it should be fine, and what do you have to lose. Spend $1.25 on a fresh yeast packet on case you need it and do it. Worst case you throw it out. If you don't try it, you will toss it anyway.

Is it two years old from when you bought it or from the manufacture date? Most kits have that listed somewhere. RJS wines are of "highest quality" for within a year and a half but are still usable afterward. In general, I would check the yeast or better yet, purchase a new packet and go for it.

Unless the vacuum sealed juice concentrate in the kit was stored above 40 C it should work, I have had a couple kits that did not turn out, but 2 out of 40 is not bad.

Update. All is/was good. Don’t be worried about those older unopened kits.
