Default carboy question

My local home brew store sells only 5 gallon carboys. However, almost
all of the (Winexpert) wine kits they sell say that you should use a 6
gallon carboy. I asked about this and they assure me (by showing me
the awards that they've won at contests) that "concentrating" these
kits into a 5 gallon carboy will add flavor, avoid "flat" or watered
down taste, and essentially not adversely affect the wine in any way.
I would appreciate any feedback on this issue as I am still skeptical
and tend to want to follow the directions as given by Winexpert. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH!
