The juice was sold for a limited time in 6-gallon drums that retailed for about $56 to $60 each, depending on market conditions.
The unpasteurized juice was stored in a rented refrigerated trailer, parked in the Ludlow unit’s receiving dock.
Several stores also sell a variety of winemaking equipment, ranging from demijohns, corkers and chemicals to complete winemaking kits.
