If you read in this newsgroup often, you will find thath those making kit
wines don't reccommend bottling per directions. They wait six months to a
year, re-racking (fresh clean carboy) several times. Then they would taste
some, and put the rest away for another year or two.

Kit wines say four weeks 'til bottling, but that doesn't mean it will tase
great after tha short amount of time. Good kit wine takes patience. Have
some
