Good wine. Bad influence.
Glug Plonk is the home winemaking app that tells you what to do today, what not to panic about, and when your suspicious bucket juice has officially become wine.

PLONK
Just fermentation.
Wine journeys with personality.
Built like the best recipe sites: clear collections, useful summaries, save-worthy guides, and no need to read someone’s entire life story before starting.
Naughty label. Serious fermentation.
Glug Plonk jokes around, but the process does not. Every journey is built around proper home winemaking basics: sanitation, gravity readings, temperature control, fermentation stages, stabilising, bottling, and troubleshooting.
what
matters
Bad microbes are not invited to this party.
Bubbles lie. Hydrometers gossip accurately.
Especially in Singapore, where yeast can party too hard.
Two matching readings beat one hopeful guess.
If you made it, name it. Then slap a label on it.
Useful first. Cheeky always.
Modern cooking apps win by reducing friction: clear tasks, saved collections, shopping lists, timers, and cooking help. Glug Plonk adapts that logic for fermentation.
Your batch is alive.

Punch down the cap
Due tomorrow. Don’t be lazy.
Today’s mission
Push grape skins back into the juice. Slow, firm, no splashy nonsense.
Why: Keeps skins wet, avoids funk, helps extraction.
Log the glug.

Early batches, questionable confidence, and increasingly drinkable results.
A few first-pour notes from people brave enough to turn suspicious juice into house plonk.
“I thought I ruined it three times. Somehow it became wine.”
“My partner asked where I bought this.”
“The apartment smelled mildly suspicious for two weeks. Worth it.”
“Dangerously easy to drink cold.”
“I made this in a condo laundry area and now I’m emotionally attached to it.”
“No patience required. Standards somehow intact.”
Is my wine dying?
Probably not. But let’s check before you pour it down the sink like a drama queen. Fast triage for beginner problems that feel catastrophic at 11:43pm.
Diagnose the dramaMake it. Bottle it. Slap a label on it.
When your batch is done, Glug Plonk turns it into a tiny vintage: batch name, year, ABV, tasting notes, and a printable Nimbot-friendly label worthy of your questionable decisions.
Frequently panicked questions.
None whatsoever. Glug Plonk is built specifically for complete beginners. Every step explains what to do, why you're doing it, and what it should look and smell like. If you can follow a recipe, you can make wine.
The basics: a food-safe fermenter (6–8L), an airlock and bung, a hydrometer, a thermometer, an auto-siphon, sanitiser, and 6 bottles. The app has a full kit checklist for each wine journey. Most of this is available at iBrew Singapore or on Shopee for under SGD$100 total.
Yes — and we've specifically designed the journeys with Singapore's warm climate and small spaces in mind. The Apartment White journey is built for exactly this situation. You'll need a water bath or a small ice strategy to keep temperatures in range, but it absolutely works in an HDB or condo.
Depends on the wine. The Apartment White is the fastest at around 45 days. The Beginner's Shiraz takes 60 days. The Cabernet Sauvignon is the most ambitious at 90 days. All journeys make approximately 6 bottles (4.5 litres).
We're in private beta right now, which means early access is free. Sign up below and you'll be among the first to get access. We'll share pricing details before the full launch — beta users will get a founding member rate.
Probably not. Most beginner wine problems are fixable. The app's panic button covers the 12 most common issues — rotten egg smell, stuck fermentation, vinegar notes, cloudy wine, and more. Each one includes a triage guide and tells you exactly when to actually panic (which is rarely).
Built by someone who killed their first three batches.
Home winemaking is genuinely simple — but every beginner resource either talks down to you or buries the useful bits in a 12,000-word essay about terroir. Glug Plonk exists because making wine at home should feel like a fun project, not a chemistry exam.
We're based in Singapore. We know it's warm, space is limited, and your neighbours can probably smell your fermenter. We built for that.
