Why can't you post it in the correct place? I don't know how many beer brewers on this forum also make wine (I don't) so I'm not sure if you will get much response. Perhaps a moderator will move this for you.

I've got that kit ready to go, it was reduced to £2. I'm going to make it into a 6 bottle kit and hope it hasn't got too much tannin. I checked the ingredients on the 30 bottle kit to the 6 bottle no sugar kit and it's identical.

p.s. I brew beer and wine

In my opinion the Wilko 30 bottle kits seem to contain flavourings. If I'm right, making one up to 6 bottles would result in a very strong 'flavour'. It may be ok - or not. My wife made the Pinot Grigio (to 30 bottles) and it is not unpleasant. I seldom drink white wine so difficult to say more. The reds are nothing like a decent wine in so many ways. I haven't done a 6 bottle kit, they may be very different.

I'm pretty sure I read a review of the pinot grigio in the wine kit section and the comments were quite favourable.
