For the price, this kit was excellent!! The wine tastes great and very easy to make. The kit was very affordable and we did not know how it would turn out, but it surpassed our every expectations. "WINE MAN" we don't exactly what you were thought you were going to get for a "28 day wine kit for $40.00" American, but we think you can't go wrong. We are definately going to order another flavor since fresh fruit is off season.

I make wine on the side, and at first it took a lot of research and time.

If your new at wine making, get this kit but be warned you will need more than just this kit. Besides the kit, you will need a glass carboy, plastic fermentor (plastic bucket), glass bottles 25-30, corker (to insert corks) and gas release knob (to vent gas, without getting the fermentor dirty). Everything else is optional, such as pump (recommended), funnels, thermometer, filters, heat gun (for shrinking covers), etc.

Also, for a better taste create 5 gallons of the kit instead of 6 (simply stop adding water at the 5 gallon mark). A common word used in the instructions is "MUST." Its simply the mixture of water, grapes, and yeast.

In sum, it will cost roughly $80-120 for all the equipment (that can be reused over and over) and $40 for this kit. Doing the math, it will cost $1.50 to $3.00 a bottle, not bad for table wine.
