I've read in numerous places that give a blind taste test of wine, most people can't tell the difference between a really expensive wine and 5$ gallon jug wine.
Does it follow that wine kits are the same way?
I just started homebrewing and am slowly but surely persuading the wife to start making her own wine... *tents fingers menacingly*
Anyway since sources are always nice, a quick google search gave me these:
