I suspect that you lost that first kit to airspace in the carboy above wine
that was insufficiently sulfited, which allowed film yeast to
propagate/thrive.

Headspace is the enemy of wine. So is low SO2.

So also is SO2 that is too _high_. Maybe bugs won't grow in it, but _you_
won't be able to drink it either.
