I have my first wine kit (for SWMBO) fermenting away right now. It is an RJ Spagnols, Orchard Breezin mist wine kit--Calypso Bianco flavor. She got a taste for it at the LHBS and when we bought the kit the owner gave her a 375ml bottle to hold her over till done. This kit contained a lot of "additives" as well and should be done and drinkable in 28 days.

I've made about 10 really good fruit wines over the years.

Here is an excellent book on the subject.

I don't know where you live, but if you have access to fresh fruit, I would be making wines from that rather than a kit like you are. I'm making my first wine kit ever right now and I'm regretting it already.

Last night while we were starting my apfelwein, my wife begged me to make another batch of the peach champagne I made a few years ago. It wasn't peach like a cheap wine, it was dry and clean and yet fruity with a lovely bouquet. Needless to say it was loved and it didn't last long. Making wine directly from fruit is highly underrated.

Here is a decent forum to discuss the subject. http://www.finevinewines.com/Wiz/forum/default.asp I go by MrFruitWines over there.
