Each kit produces 6 gallons (30, 750mL bottles) in as little as 8 weeks. They are complete with all ingredients necessary to make outstanding vintages that will wow you! OK, they don't come with water, but they do come with labels for your bottles. Oh, and recipes to make some delectable foods to pair with your wine. Visit the Limited Edition 2012 page at Winexpert for varietal information, flowery descriptions, aging recommendations, etc, etc.
