Lone Cactus Wine Coolers
Vinoka is the first to produce Sparkling Wine Cooler Kits for the home winemaker. They contain only natural fruit flavours and fruit juice concentrates and are of unsurpassed quality. Experience the quality and flavour of Vinoka's 'LoneCactus' Wine Coolers. Our customers frequently comment, that Vinoka's 'LoneCactus' Wine Coolers are the best on the market. They are available in 16 flavours. Our customers have also experimented by making wine coolers with Apple, Crabapple, Pear and Apple-Lime and have developed some fabulous beverages. In only 4 weeks, your Wine Cooler will be ready to enjoy! Vinoka coolers and ciders are meant to be enjoyed carbonated and chilled to bring out the sparkling, fresh properties of the natural fruit flavours.
Note: As in commercial coolers, some of our exotic 'LoneCactus' Wine Coolers contain fine fruit particles, they intensify the natural taste, and the finished product will appear denser or cloudier than cider or wine. This is normal!
