Re: the raisins (and probably sultanas), they are said to add body, flavour & mouthfeel to the wine. But you're supposed to rinse the raisins first (to rinse off the sulfites). I didn't rinse them, but my wines turned out to be OK. If your wine is light coloured and you don't want the colour to change due to the raisins, then choose raisins from white grapes.
