After being on the forum for several months now and after 25 years of home making wines , I would like to ask a question, from what I can see and read from the forum many people use or make wine kits to produce a similar wine to a shop brought version. Is it just me that does not do kits or am I a billy no mates??
I normaly make around 50 to 75 gallons of wine a year all of it from ingrediants I have collected or grown, so things like fruit and veg and berries of any sort, I love my wine and making and playing with the wines but I dont realy get into grapes and there wines as its not what I prefere. Are most of the new starters or evan old hands of a more modern view of trying to produce wines which they can buy but of a home made better quality, or do people produce them to suppliment there country wines.
just before I get hung drawn and quartered, I am not against kits, some of which are way out of my price , its just when and where I was curropted/ trained into wine, it was a club of country wine makers so kits where never used as we could buy sugar and collect the ingrediants for free,
what are your opinions on kits and country wines is there a class issue or even a kit issue?
