Master Vintner Fresh Harvest Fruit Winemaking Kit
My wife bought me one of these kits for my recent birthday, and I am really looking forward to giving it a try:

The thing about these kits is that you're not making some sort of Chardonnay, or Merlot, or Riesling etc.; you're making wine from fruit that you have collected (or purchased) yourself. This is perfect for what I want to do, since I tend to like these kinds of projects, and I can't wait to get started.
The kit seems pretty standard - it comes with the fermenter, airlock, tubing and other hardware, plus enzimes, nutrients, stabelisers etc in order to make 15 batches of whatever fruit wine you might want to try. Once you use up these initial replenishable supplies, you can of course get more, and can conceivably make wine with this kit for the rest of your life, if you want.
For my first batch, I'm thinking of making chokecherry wine. I have what should be enough chokecherries to do this, which I packaged in the freezer last autumn. After that, who knows? But I intend to have fun with it, and may eventually move on to more converntional grape wines.
I was wondering if anyone else has one of these, and how your experiences have been?
