Personally, due to the amountof time involved before one batch of wine is ready, and the fact I'm not sure which homemade wines I might like, I've followed the policy of trying a lot of different recipes, or variation s on same wine recipe, rather than makign one, waiting the 6 months - 2 years before it's ready, decide if I like what I did, and try again, etc. Personally, just can't see doing anything that time involved. :)
I just got started at the beginning of july, and currently am working on my 12th batch of wine(2 6 gallon winexpert kits, and 10 from juices or canned-frozen-fresh fruits). Actually, I haven't even opened my first bottle yet(though I tried a little bit of each of the kits, when bottling the first one had half a bottle left at end, so drank thta, was obvoiusly still too young, and then other kit required removing some of the wine, so drank that).
Of course, this answer also depends on how much you drink. I tend to drink between 10 and 30 bottles of wine a month, so I will keep this up for a while, and then take a break, and probably have a year's worth of wine to drink.
New Winemaker Big Problems 5John, I can't respond to the questions on your wine kits, but I have made strawberry wine a number of times. You said the wine was 4 months old, you racked...
