I'm a keen red wine drinker, and I like to have a glass or two during
dinner. I'm in no way an expert and my palate is yet to mature. Give
me a cup of tea and I'll tell you hordes of information about it. But
I digress

Some of the cheap bottles of wine I buy give me a nasty headache. I'm
not talking "oops I've drunk two bottles and have the hangover from
hell", I'm talking "I had two glasses n'feel like cr*p". If I buy a
relatively expensive bottle (I'm not naming names) but I generally
find they have the same effect. I was about to write off my habit,
when my parents gave me a bottle of organic red. Suddenly the
headache was gone and I could enjoy a decent bottle.

I think it's the chemicals that's in the wine - so I'd like to
experiment. I've brewed beer, I'm engaging on some mead & now I'd
like to make some wine. What I'm getting at here is am I going to get
the same problems from a kit? I'm still a poor, poor person - hence
the homebrew (which after all of my research and 2nd batch tastes far
better than most comercial beers on the market - it's not just my own
hype, it's been declared by my ale drinking friends!)

I've got the kit (12x1 gallon demi-jons, fermenting buckets etc) and a
plentiful supply of wine bottles. Where's best to start?
