Price will tell you everything. Not sure where you live, but in Canada cheap
wine kits are $50 or less, good $70, excellent $100. If you get only a small
bag of conentrate (ie you are adding 2 x that amount in water to the kit), it
is a cheap kit. More expensive kits have 15 litres or more of cocentrate and
some require no dilution (although there is debate as to whether those are
"high end". Some of the 23 litre pails are simply cheap concentrate with the
water added already.

Price usually determines quality.

Sorry, I've made the $100 kits. I would never characterize the resulting
wine as excellent. I'm sure it's better than what the $50 kits would have
produced, but I'm afraid the best I can do is damn with faint praise.

BTW, my good wines have medalled at the national competition, so I am
capable of making a decent wine given a good starting point.

I respects your comments.
Have ever had Greek wine. Some have drunk it all their live and find it
excellent.
I do not like it that much because of the resin taste in it. Now some
people prefers Ice wine because of its sweetness. If we make a testing
panel with people coming from different ethic groups and ask them what is
the best drinking wine we may never come to a consensus. I was on a wine
testing panel and right away I detected that some wine had been filtered and
had a chemical taste. While the other were giving it winning points. That
did not mean that I was right in my finding. I have to give brown beer away
because my family do not like it. Conversely, my friend only drinks brown
Irish stout.
Medals are giving as per the liking of the testing panel. Over here, the
people from France made the statement at their wine festival in Quebec that
wine made with concentrate was not wine. Are they correct in what they are
saying, no they are not. But its good for the promotion of their french
wine. Have a good day
