Arjen,
Having grown up in a mining town in Canada's north, I'm a beer
swiller from birth but I've grown to appreciate wine, especially
with food. Not that I'd admit it in rec.crafts.brewing but I
sometimes now prefer a glass of wine to a beer. I'm actually
approaching both of these hobbies from the opposite direction
from you - wine first and brewing next. Wine kits are easier
than beer but truely great wine pressed from grapes is more
difficult than all-grain brewing. My opinion of course.
