Don,

You're correct, I don't have any experience with wine (yet!). My main
focus has always been beer over the last 18 months, purely for selfish
reasons. But I must admit reading this newsgroup over the past few weeks has
fuelled my interest. That is why I finally accepted my wife's plea and
promised to make her a wine. I do enjoy homebrewing as a hobby so I suppose
having wine in the fermenter instead of beer for a change can't hurt and who
knows, I may start to enjow wine more in the process as well

Thank you for your feedback, I'll give the BK Australian Chardonnay a go
and see how it tastes in 6 months time.

I will keep in touch with this group

Arjen
