I've made both wine and beer in the past. Never used a kit for wine, I always just bought or collected batches of fruit and used an old method to make it.
Boiled the fruit in a clean white pillow case for an hour, mashing it and then letting it cool.
Remove pillow case (and thus all the pulp), pour the warm liquid into the wort, add sugar (if needed)
Sprinkle champagne yeast on top, cover and let it ferment for a month to 6 weeks.
Clean (with finings), bottle it.
Always had great results. My brothers and other friends all used kits, my wine always kicked theirs asses.
