I came across the newsgroup FAQ while trying to answer this question.
It didn't have a comment about this from what I could see, but the
experience therein meant I could probably get an answer.

My friend and I have started homebrewing recently. We got a fairly
simple starter kit. Generally, we're using glass tubs instead of
plastic, and we got a wort chiller recently. We've done one set of beer
and are working on the second. We're not fully experienced yet, but it
seems like we're doing OK (so far).

I looked at a basic tutorial on making wine and found a lot of procedure
similar. I'm curious where there are some major differences. The only
main one I can see is it takes many months in storage to prepare the
wine, whereas beer is ready within a few weeks. With that in mind, I
want to try making some wine now so that I can try it in a few months
when I'd be prepared to tackle it more seriously.

Given a beer starter kit, would I need anything else to make wine?
That's excluding ingredients and bottles, of course. Speaking of
ingredients, can I get some premade stuff like the wheat syrups at
homebrew stores? I'd want to minimize some of the fuss at the start.

It sounds like some people in here homebrew too, so I hope they'll share
some advice. Personally, volume for volume, I'd rather be making wine...
