If you’re making wine from commercially available wine kits, you’ll have everything you need to make very good wine. Even the yeast is provided for you in the kit. I’ve found that Lalvin EC-1118 strain of yeast is the one that is most often included in both premium and lower quality kits.
EC-1118 yeast is a very good all purpose wine yeast. Originating in the Champagne area of France, it is used to make a wide variety of juices because of it’s high alcohol tolerance, ability to withstand a wide range of temperatures, and it’s neutrality to flavor and aromas.
