"What's the difference between a Selection™ "Premium" 6-week wine kit and a "standard" 4-week kit (other than price)?"
The price & quality of a wine kit are directly related.
Many people assume that the size (volume of liquid) and/or the processing time (six or eight weeks versus four) determine the quality of a wine kit. While there is some truth to this, it is only a simplistic view -- technology has come a long way. Ultimately, what a manufacturer pays for, and does with the juice is directly related to the quality of your finished product. For example, if poor grapes are sourced at a low price, theoretically a poorer wine will result.
But, if a manufacturer sets out to produce an incredibly high quality wine kit... bidding on winery-grade grapes that are beautiful, flavourful, and meet higher standards for ripeness, acid, pH, brix, and colour, etc., you will be rewarded with an excellent finished wine.
Winexpert, the world's largest wine kit producer, and their Selection™ brand are committed to using the highest quality juices available on the market, thereby providing winemakers with very high quality raw materials to make wine from - as evidenced by the results at the latest Winemaker Magazine competition!
