Our Grapes and Juices
To make great wine you have to start with great grapes and fresh juice. PIWC has been dedicated to selling the highest quality grapes and juices to home winemakers and commercial wineries since 1964. Our fresh local grapes & juices are the same ones we use in our commercial winery operation to produce our popular and award winning wines. We purchase only from the best local and regional growers and hold our growers to exacting quality standards. Our staff is actively involved in the grower community to maintain the highest quality standards in viticulture and grape handling and processing. We believe in establishing strong relationships with our growers and insist on a commitment to quality practices from all growers with whom we do business. We stand by our growers who maintain that commitment and move on from those who don't. This approach provides a consistent supply of quality fruit for our customers and for us and a consistent and reliable market for our growers. We also provide our customers with fresh whole juice products from Italy, Chile, and California.
Varieties: PIWC has been selling high quality grapes and juices to home winemakers and commercial wineries since 1964. We were one of the first, if not the first, in our region to do so. These grapes & juices are the same ones we use in our commercial winery operation to produce our popular and award winning wines. We offer a wide variety of Red and White, Native Labrusca, French Hybrid, and Vinifera grapes and juices.
Quality Product: Our juices are lightly pressed, settled, sulfited and chilled to retard premature fermentation. We provide sugar, total acidity (T/A) and pH readings on all juices. We do not alter grapes or juices for sugar or acidity but will be more than happy to give our advice.
Your success is our success: We want your wine making experience to be enjoyable and satisfying. We stand behind the quality of the grapes and juices we sell. Though juices are settled and then racked before being sold, there will always be some sediment from which the wine, after fermentation will need to be racked. Sometimes a customer, especially on small orders, will get more sediment than is acceptable. When reasonable, we will make up the difference either by providing additional juice or giving a refund for the amount shorted. If you are dissatisfied or have a problem with our product please notify us. Please do not discard grapes or juice/wine before notifying us. Almost all wine problems can be rectified somehow and we will work with you to correct the situation.
About our Juices
We offer a variety of fresh juices throughout the year from premium vineyards around the world, as well as grapes and juices from the fall harvest from our exquisite local Lake Erie vineyards, for our home and commercial winemaker customers. Our local Harvest season typically runs from mid-September through the end of October.
Our grapes and juices are fresh, perishable products and cannot be shipped. All juice and grape products must be picked up at the winery unless special arrangements have been made. Looking for something that can be shipped? Consider our Young Wine and let us do the up front work crushing and fermenting your wine. Once fermentation has completed, the Young Wine is stable for shipping and you can finish it in the style you desire.
Commercial Customers - Please contact us first to help locate whatever varieties you may need. If it is out there, our strong relationship with our growers will allow us to find it and get access to it. For all of your grape and juice needs, contact our General Manager, Marya Johnson
