Just to be sure folks - Vintners' Harvest and Vintner's Best are two very different products.  The first is, as far as I have investigated and checked personally 100% the Fruit Named on the label, nothing else.  The second is made with a variety of fruit juices in addition to the fruit name on the label.  In fact in all the cases I've checked the named fruit is NOT even first on the list - meaning that named fruit is not the only fruit juice in the containers.  The ones I checked contained Apple Juice, White Grape Juice  and/or Pear Juice as the leading fruit varieties with the Named Juice NOT being the major juice.  In fact here is the list of ingredients for   Vintner's Best® Blackberry Fruit Wine Base:  High Fructose Corn Syrup; Apple, Pear, Blackberry & Grape Juice Concentrates; Water; Citric Acid; Natural Flavors


In other words you are paying a premium price for Corn Syrup, along with some Apple, Pear, Blackberry and Grape juice.  Last I shopped I could by 4 lbs of cane sugar for less than $2.00 - I don't think Corn Syrup costs much more than that.  And for the record I only make 3 gallon batches with the Vintners Harvest 96 oz cans.  They have all turned out great.
