Default Using grapes in kits?

As to winemaking, Lum's book is great, start there.

Here is the UC Davis book too, it's also free:
http://wineserver.ucdavis.edu/conten...ory=Winemaking

You can use grapes in kits, certainly. Keep in mind the first few
years the vines produce grapes they will be a little spotty as to
quantity and quality. You may be able to purchase fresh wine grapes or
fresh pressed juice in your area also when it's in season.

I don't know where you are so won't recommend any grape growing books,
different areas require different techniques. Your county agricultural
agent should be helpful there or mention the rough area you are in and
we can go from there.
