I ordered a BK port wine kit 2 years ago. When I got it, it was leaking.
The mail order store kindly and promptly replaced it. When I opened the
second one it smelled bad, kind of rotten, but I made it anyway. After a
year of bulk aging it still smelled bad and tasted bad as well. It is the
only kit I have ever poured out.

May be just a bad experience but you asked for our experiences.
