Every time I have received excellent service and sound advice to guide my project. James (the owner) has always been at the front to greet and help me and has never tried to sell me anything I didn't need. He knows what he is doing and is happy to share his knowledge. A great shop for home winemakers, I have never made wine in the shop so I can't comment on that, but his setup looks top notch.

I called Wine Butler in Kitchener wanting to take advantage of an offer they had sent us a letter…read moreabout. We called and left a message and never heard anything back from them. Just came across the letter and called them to ask them to honour it. Nope - straight out nope! I told him we never heard from him after leaving our message. He told us we should have called back. Well, when I leave a message for a business, I would assume if they are interested in having future business, that they would make an effort to call people back. I asked him if he honoured this letter, we would become future full-time customers. Answer - Nope. Wow, glad to hear your business is doing so well during tough times. Congratulations - happy to hear you are doing so well that you can throw customers out. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS BUSINESS AS THEIR ATTITUDE IS S-----Y.!!

From the owner: Why not get great tasting wine for 1/4 of what you'd pay at retail?…read more We believe in minimizing our impact on the environment in all our business practices. When you make wine with us, we sterilize and reuse your bottles over and over. Plus, our wines have less than 1/7th the preservatives of those available commercially. We have been making wine for over 40 years! See what our clients are saying: "Great service from beginning to end. The communication was fantastic and the end product equal to the service. I was highly skeptical that for the price I could receive a good wine, but Wine Butler delivered far beyond expectations. The help I got with bottling was great and I can't wait to do it again - certainly makes wine even more fun!" A Ward "We're returning customers of Wine Butler and we love everything about it. The wines are very affordable and delicious, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and the facilities are well-equipped. We will definitely be returning again!" J Kundacina

My family and I have been making wine with Marie for years now and recommend her to everyone know…read more I personally started to have wine made for our wedding almost six years ago. People still comment on how they can't believe it wasn't store bought. Marie has been awesome in helping me to choose my wines and to figure out which one I like best. She takes the time and listens to what I have and haven't liked in order to figure out what to make next, I have never been disappointed! We recently moved an hour away and I cringed at the thought of having my wine made elsewhere. I have tasted other wines and have always thought "Marie's is SO MUCH BETTER" and quickly decided to keep my business with her. Her professionalism, knowledge, wonderful personality, and of course amazing wines is what will keep me coming back. So if your looking at starting to have your own wine bottled I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER, you will not be disappointed!!! Thanks Marie! Sherrie

I have been making wine with Marie and Pat since February 2004! Over the years they have provided…read moreme with lots of wine education, good company and great quality and service. Over the years, Marie has gotten to know my taste and provides me with personalized recommendations knowing what I will like (she's always right!). She also personalizes each individual batch of wine to suit my preference on the sugar content of the wine. Even after I moved to Toronto in 2012 I have been coming back to the Kitchener wine cellar a couple times a year because the quality, service and company is worth the trip! I can't imagine getting my wine anywhere else.

Absolutely unprofessional. Owner drinks YOUR wine and shares it with other customers…read more I will NEVER go back to bottle at this location. The owner (and sole employee) is a self-admitted alcoholic (telling me on my first visit that he drinks an average of 1.5L of wine per day while AT work, using the excuse that "his customers expect him to taste the wine with them") He eagerly poured me at LEAST a half dozen "samples" of various wines while I was bottling- which were obviously taken from the CUSTOMER PAID batches awaiting their bottling. My last time there, after I had to delay my bottling appointment by 2 weeks, by the time I came in, there were only 24 bottles worth left in my batch. I've been bottling for YEARS, and every single place that I've gone (including a prior visit to Molinara), you always get 30-31 bottles from a batch. I hope he and his other customers enjoyed "sampling" the wine that I paid for. And to top it off, it wasn't the variety I ordered (not a surprise, since he was likely intoxicated when I placed the order) SO unprofessional. I now go down the street to Wine Expert, where the employees are completely sober and I get to take home ALL of the wine I PAY for.
