ABOUT US
Wine Kitz™ is all about creating wonderful wines, and making the process easy, fun and affordable. Part of a nationwide franchise that goes back to 1959, Wine Kitz Moncton is locally owned and operated by the husband and wife team of Judy and Mike Briggs, and is the first and only location in Moncton, joining five other Wine Kitz locations already thriving in the province of New Brunswick.
Our Story
Mike’s passion for wine was kindled over 28 years ago, when he was involved in creating the winelist for a hotel run by his parents on the Channel Island of Jersey. He has been learning about and making wines for over 20 years, and holds a Wine Professional designation from the prestigious Canadian Association of Professional Sommeliers. An active member of the Atlantic Chapter of the Association, Mike, a former IT specialist, and his wife Judy, a retired nurse, finally took their passion for wines to another level by opening the Wine Kitz Moncton store. Both Mike and Judy are well-travelled and well-educated about wines, and they bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to their enterprise.

The Wine Kitz Story
Since its inception in 1959, Wine Kitz (originally known as Wine Art) has been the leader in the consumer wine making industry and today is one of the world’s largest and most respected winemaking retailers. Since Wine Kitz manufactures its own wine kits, we can confidently stand behind the quality of our wines and say you’ll love the wines you make with us.
Make Wines Comparable to Commercial Wines
We ensure every aspect of the wine kit production process will result in high quality wines for your enjoyment. We source grapes from top vineyards and wineries around the world. Then, combining traditional procedures and technical modernization with the evolution of tastes, these grapes are made into quality concentrates. At our state-of-the-art facility, through innovative product development, we develop wine kits that surpass our exacting standards and make wines that have characteristics and taste profiles equivalent to comparable commercial wines.
Celebrate the Love of Wine
We’re wine lovers too, and we know the experience of wine is an important part of life’s celebrations. Like food, there are wines for every event in your life. Wine Kitz has wines for every occasion from the casual to the momentous. You’ll find our wine consultants friendly and helpful, making sure the wine you make complements the occasion you’re celebrating. Choose from hundreds of varieties including such classics as Chardonnay, full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon, crisp Rieslings and rich Merlots.
Whether you enjoy a glass of wine occasionally or have a wine cellar your friends would envy, we can help you enjoy your favourite wines, all for a fraction of the cost of wines purchased at your local liquor store.
We have a wine to suit your every mood, from every day table wines to exclusive limited releases. Enjoy!
