About us

Welcome! I'm Marie Aksel, the founder of Wine Kit Warehouse, your destination for premium home winemaking kits. I was born and raised in the city of Houston, Texas, where my passion for wine was cultivated through cherished family traditions.

My journey with winemaking started in my father's office, a place where we spent our spare time crafting homemade wines from kits. From robust reds to delicate whites, each bottle encapsulated stories, laughter, and a shared bond that has been distilled into the essence of Wine Kit Warehouse.

Over the years, our efforts were not just heartily enjoyed within our circle but have also been recognized with several accolades. Among the wines we've crafted, a distinctive port stands out, having secured first place in a notable home winemakers’ competition. These achievements have fueled my passion and given me the conviction that anyone can create award-worthy wine at home with the right tools.

This belief led to the creation of Wine Kit Warehouse, a venture dedicated to bringing the joys of home winemaking to everyone's doorstep. Our mission is straightforward: to empower wine enthusiasts and beginners alike to delve into the fascinating process of winemaking from the comfort of their own homes. I've come to realize that the true beauty of wine lies not just in its taste but also in the process of its creation, the alchemy that transforms simple grapes into a symphony of flavors.

At Wine Kit Warehouse, we provide kits that encompass my personal journey and love for winemaking. They're carefully curated to simplify the process, making the art of winemaking accessible to all. Whether you're an expert looking to experiment with new blends or a novice taking the first step in your winemaking journey, we have something to suit your palate.

When I'm not working, I'm likely found enjoying a glass of wine with family or friends. I'm an avid traveler and wherever I go, tasting the local wines always tops my agenda. And in the midst of all this? I'm a mother to two lively toddlers who never fail to fill my days with excitement and joy!

I invite you to join me on this captivating journey of home winemaking. Together, let's create our own award-winning stories, one glass at a time.

Cheers,

Marie Aksel
