Furthermore what do you mean by "excellent service"? You paid for a kit and you received what you paid for. Should I claim I...
I ordered 3 kits. All had the shipping box from LD carlson. None were shrink wrapped. Only one was open. I don't know if it was manually open or if the glue didn't hold. I will take a look after work. They are tough to open so it might be visible if someone pulled it open.

Below are some pictures of the wine in fermentation when I would mix it and one...

I make both wine and beer and it is interesting how people have very different views on these.
I do feel people people look down on home winemakers but on the other hand tell someone you make your own beer and they look at you like a hero... Everyone agree that a home brew (beer) is much better...
