As part of this Wilkos 50% off homebrew sale I've picked up a couple of the wine kits. A white, pinot grigio and red, merlot. Both have instructions to add 3.5kg sugar and make up to 5gallons with water. While I'm sure it would be a basic drinkable wine, I'm wanting something a bit better.
My question is, how much (if any) better would it be if I didn't add any extra sugar and only made the kit up to 1 gallon?

I've made a few of the Wilko kits and they have been fantastic. My advice would be not to touch it 
Cheers and gone,

It will strip the enamel off your teeth if you only do it to a gallon...

Re: Wilko Wine Kits
I bought a couple of these kits in the 50% sale, i believe they are made by Muntons so i am expecting them to be drinkable and at £4 each as cheap as a WOW.

My local Wilko has the 30 bottle Rose wine kits reduced from £20 to £10. Hopefully yours does too.
Spotted it while picking up some demijohns.

Re: Wilko Wine Kits
Just visited wilkos today and it seems they are clearing the shelves of the premium 30 bottle kits at 9.50 a case. Started at 37 then 18 in the big sale. My mrs went nuts when she saw the boot full of them. I tried the cav sav and the merlot in the big sale added 1kg of brewing sugar and they taste brilliant after a month or so came out at14%. Go now and grab em lol
