I THINK SOME WINERIES DO WHAT THEY HAVE TO DO TO OVER COME THERE OWN SET OF PROBLEMS WHEN THE NEED ARISES.they USE BALANCE AND CHEMISTRY AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE,BUT THE FIRST ITEM ON THEIR SHOPPING LIST IS RAW PRODUCT AND THE QUALITY OF IT.
my point exactly. start right and you shouldn't need an f-pac, imo. i'm not bashing anyone, just stating my opinion. i spoke with my father in depth on the subject and he seems to think it's a kit thing. he doesn't see a need for it with real product. i feel the same. our wines are usually really good. we have had some fruit that is not as ripe, make inferior wine, so i can understand using it to "fix" it in home batches.
