I have only tried Brew King, it is the only kit available at my home brew
shop. A friend suggested viva de vino or something to that affect. I have
been pretty satisfied with the Brew King but like I said I have nothing to
compare it to. I made one Brew King Chardonnay and was very impressed from
day one while bottling. I have some friends that don't like chardonnay but
like this one. I usually don't drink white wines at all and only made this
to accommodate for guests that don't like red. I really like this one
though. It has almost fruity flavors and tastes a little sweet even though
it was fermented to dryness.
