I've been making wine kits for around 3 years now with generally good results.
I've found that the white wine kits at the cheaper end (£25-30) are usually very drinkable but that reds in that price range are not great - no real body and a tad acidic - so I buy the WinExpert kits for my reds (usually the Malbec or Diabolo Rojo) which always turn out very well and can be drunk straight away.
Ideally I'd like to be making a red that comes out like a decent French vin de table from a cheaper kit - does anyone have any pointers? I have tried most of the cheaper kits, but end up chilling the results and telling my wife it's rose - she loves them! I have just bought a kit from the Range based on what I've read here and will start it off in the next couple of weeks to see if that is my holy grail.
