Reserve du Chateau wine kits.

Anyone tried the Reserve du Chateau wine kits from Amazon? e.g. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Reserve-Chateau ... 541&sr=8-6

Like other people here I've had good results from Beaverdale kits, but I'm wondering how Reserve du Chateau compares. I'm noting the Merlot is on special offer at the moment, so might be worth a punt at £33.

The Merlot turned out lovely. Easily as good as any £8 commercial wine.
Not so impressed with the whites though.

Make it up a little bit short e.g. 1-2l less than recommended. No other additions were required and made up as per included instructions. Look forward to hear how it turns out.
