Vineyards have spent hundreds of years perfecting thier wines, tge right soi,, the right grape, water etc. Yet just a few days of more or less sunshine can effect a whole years production .

Kits will have everything measured out for you while country wines there are a lot of existing recipes; although these are not just hit or miss but also allow you to play, changing the amount of sugar, mixing fruits and other ingredients to invent your own special wine.
