Is it possible to recreate the same wines by carefully recording the ingredients and conditions and following them?
anyone3 have any experience with this? Also Iam going to look at the winemaking kit at Wal*Mart, any suggestions here?

Only if the juice is identical - which it wouldn't be from one batch to the next.

I have even found making two identical kits -- with the same batch number, separately, in different fermenters but under identical storage conditions ( i.e. side by side ) -- will produce distinctly different results after bulk aging. Too many imponderables!!!
Well, theory and facts are two different things. Commercial wimeries supposedly do it all year long. I have tried and some unknown variable always seems to creep in. I'm getting better, but I've not arrived yet.
Yeah; don't buy it.
I have even divided crushed grape juice in two different 6 gal carboyees and fermenting them side by side can yield different tasting wines.

Commericial wineries happen to have fully stocked labs and fix the wines to completely regular variables and then blend everything together across
56,000 gallon tanks. They can even hold back 10,000 gallons to blend with the next batch.
I've seen some pretty amazing aerial photos.....
