It is called Mega Purple, used on a lot of <$20.00 bottles. Many of the respectable winemakers refuse to use it. Here is a good article on Mega Purple, you can also google to get more info.

Here is a question for you. If they use this stuff in commercial wineries, do they use it in making wine kits? The reason I ask is that they sell the same kits year after year. We consumers buy them and expect it to taste the same as the last time. Now if the grapes are always changing, are they tweaking the taste for a consistent product?

makes me wonder. i've made fruit wine and two batches from grapes also several batches of frozen welchs and none of them have the smell or wierd taste of the WE kits
