Which do you all prefer?
I like to save as much money as possible, and I also like to be as involved in the process as possible. Kits sort of feel like "cheating" to me. I'm not sure if that's logical or not, but I don't really care. To me, opening up a box and dumping the contents into a bucket sort of seems like opening up a bottle and dumping the contents into a glass.
I haven't done much cost comparison between kits and fruits, but I suspect it may actually be cheaper to go with a kit. I had this epiphany when I was going to make hard cider. I looked at buying apples Vs. buying bottled cider, and the cider was much cheaper. So in that instance, it made more sense to "cheat" and buy the cider.
When cost effective, I would like to choose to make wine from scratch, but what other factors might I be neglecting in choosing between kits and fruits? What else makes buying a kit the more attractive option, not including the "ease of use" aspect, which I really don't care about?
