The starter pack contains a brew bucket and all ingredients and equipment (bar the sugar) to make 6 bottles of wine. It is what I started with. If you buy the 30 bottle kit (the one I now do) you will need to buy a big fermenting bucket (around £7.50 I think) a hydrometer and a siphon tube. You need to add the cost of sugar to whichever size kit you do - think it is 4 and a quarter bags of sugar for the big kit. A big plastic spoon is also very useful if you decide to do the big kit - that way you can actually make the wine in just one bucket (stirring vigorously does the degassing without pouring wine from one container to another).
I can recommend the Chardonnay kit, have done a small red kit but didn't taste it as I really don't like red wine. Madmax enjoyed it though.
