Yours is a good question. I have not made a kit fruit wine and I am not
sure what they are referring to. If they have a web address or an 800
number contact them directly and ask them. Usually the kit manufacturers
are good about helping out with their kits. They should help you if they
want repeat customers. Then let us know what they say. It might be
interesting.
