They say that people only add reviews to t'internet if something is very good or very bad...
Kit: Young's Chardonnay
Cost: £2.99 (+sugar)
I've done a few kits mainly at the cheaper end of the good market (CC and Beaverdale) and have been very impressed with how simple decent quality wine, to an untrained palette, can be.
Having a few DJs lying dormant, I gave one of these ultra-cheap kits a go.
Following the instructions to the letter, and racking a couple of times, I bottled up 6 bottles of crystal clean wine.
Giving them about two months, I've tried a couple of bottles. Both were thin, unbalanced, too acidic with no lasting taste except a slightly peculiar but not infection based aroma.
The reds I've tried from the same range were average and definitely worth the very modest outlay for. However, in my opinion, this is one to avoid.
