Actually, the wine kits that are out there are almost 100% fool proof. Most
of us would recommend that you use them to learn how to make wine and the
branch out into country and fresh fruit wines. The instructions with the
kits make them a great way to make wine with almost no chance at failure.
The draw back is that they are not cheap. But at $85 for a kit, you end up
with a lot of $3/bottle wine -- which still is not bad.

But if you want something that is really cheap and almost a fool proof, go
to Jack Keller's site and make his Welch's Niagara. It will come out less
than a dollar a bottle and generally is ready to drink in 2 months.
