Making decent home made wine from a kit

[TorqueDirty]

Hi folks,

A few years ago I made a couple of batches of home made wine from wine kits - you know, grape juice concentrate, yeast and a few other additives. Some was rotten but some (from the more expensive kits that take longer to make) was not bad actually.

I'm guessing the game has moved on somewhat in the intervening years and I'm keen to have another go.

Any recommendations for the best equipment and wine kits to go for? As I recall the equipment was pretty basic and not too expensive. I have old stuff somewhere but it is covered on crap and it will be easier to replace it frankly. It is the wine kits that I'd like some advice on.

I'd be OK to spend say £75 on a kit that yields 30 bottles but what sort of quality will this deliver? Are we talking equivalent to your average £5 Tesco bottle or can I expect something a bit better than that assuming I make it correctly? I made a 7 day batch once and it was absolutely foul, so I'd be looking avoid that and go for a premium kit.

All advice welcome.

Thanks
TD
