Default Costco Wine Kits

Recently a poster mentioned that Costco sold Wine Kits. I was in a
Costco here in Calgary the other day and noticed a wine kit promotion.
They were selling kits thst featured 23 litres of must. One of the two
"Limited Collection 2003" Opus V kits was an Italian Barbaresco. Being
a sucker for full bodied Reds I bought the kit. At $72.00Cdn the price
seemed pretty good.
I'm ready to start the kit now and noticed some strange instuctions.
After sprinkling the yeast on the must the instructions say to stir
the yeast into the must after waiting ten minutes. The other strange
instruction called for stirring the wine after racking to the carboy
for secondary fermentation, calling this step an initial degassing.
Both of these steps seem designed to rush the fermentation and would
appear to be unnecessary. Any thoughts on these steps?
