I've read that a typical kit makes 5 gallons. However, I've also read
Jack,
I always use 1 gallon = 5.05 bottles (see math pasted below).
I never made wine from a kit, but, most of the ones I've seen advertised yield 6 gallons.

=========================================
1 US gallons = 3 785.4118 ml750 (ml/bottle) ÷ 3 785.4118 (ml/gal) = 0.1981 gallons/bottle
1 gallon ÷ 0.1981 (gallons/bottle) = 5.047 bottles of wine.Jack,
I'm not sure if all kits make the same amount, but I think a standard
750 ml bottle is just under 4/5 of a quart, or about 1/5 of a gallon. Five gallons should yield close to 24 or 25 bottles, depending on how you rack, top off, etc. (U.S. measurement)HTH, Mike MTM
I have run into a few small batch kits that only make 3 or 4 gal.s, but most kits make 23 liters. That is 6 US gal's or 5 British gal's. I usually get
25-27 bottles out of them after racking loss.Ray
They may mean you get 5 gallons of must. by the time you rack a couple of times, and lose a bit that way, they estimate you will get about 16 bottles.
