Many kits I think can benefit with increased alcohol levels, but many of
them take longer to mature into a nicer wine when this is done. I have the
impression that if you don't add sugar, or if the alcohol content is lower,
it seems to be drinkable sooner. However, with a bit more alcohol, you
might get a better wine, later. I may speculate that some kits may
intentionally lower in alcohol because the kit makers want to sell kits that
can be rushed and drunk early.
