Juice buckets come pre-processed and often are even balanced for acidity all you need to do is add the yeast, let it ferment, then enjoy! Juice buckets also tend to be less expensive per gallon of finished wine than whole grapes. So far Juice Buckets seem like a great way to go but hold on to your hogshead there are some down sides to juice buckets.

If you are making red wine the body tends to be thinner and they are lighter in color than wine made from whole grapes. Also while some juice buckets come pre-balanced for acidity, some do not which may require you to purchase acid additives. There will also be less intense flavors and less flavor development than wines made from whole grapes. Most of these downsides don’t apply to white wine so the kind of wine you want to make should play into your decision.
