The answer may be evident but, being someone that hasn't made any wine in
over 30 years, here' my question: In looking a winemaking supply catalogues
I've noticed a wide variety of grape juice/concentrates available. On the
low end, price wise, are the concentrates ($26 - 46 ounce cans) and the
price increase as the wine to water dilution ratio decreases all the way up
to the 23 liter ($150+) all juice ingredients. Given that these come with
all the necessary ingredients, is a higher $/% juice kit going to make a
significantly better cabernet than one made from concentrate? And, if I use
the $150 ingredient kit will my $5 per bottle wine be at least as comparable
as a decent $10 wine I can currently buy off the shelf? Better?

Suggestions on brands to buy? Stay away from?

TIA
John
