Costco wine kit

[Old_el_Paseo]

Anybody here ever try the costco wine kits ?
Its 100$ for a kit that makes 60×750ml bottles !
The reviews from customers are all very good. Apparently they taste great.
It comes with 60 corks and shrink wraps and labels.
Sounds like a great deal !
Anybody here try them ?
This would be my first wine making experience.
I brewed a lot of all grain so i should be ok withthis kit and instructions.

I started my home brewing with a Costco Chardonnay. I did one and had a buddy try the other. They both came out very similar. I let all my wines ferment until the yeast is dead and my buddy followed the instructions to the letter. They seem to be a fool proof kit.

Since you're the first to answer this in 3 days I bought it today. I will be making it tomorrow. I bought the Shiraz kit on demand of the wife.
I know Costco has very high standards since I have worked in 2 company's that manufacture their products ( granola bars and now cookies).
If I sanitize well and follow instructions, I guess it should come out pretty good.

Now I just need to find botles.

I started the first fermentation today. Worked well. Instructions are clear and easy to follow. All i changed was follow the instructions on the yeast instead of doing what the instructions say and just sprinkle on must.
It says og should be between 1.080 and 1.095. Of course i got 1.082~
But it always on the lower end on prefab kits. To save on production cost.
But judging from the comments on costco the wine is very good.
Next wine i will go more advanced and buy wine juice and make my own instructions.
Kits are like brew extract. Good but very limited.
