The yeast packets all arrived in new condition with dates indicating they are newer stock so I will definitely be inclined to order again. As to the viability of the yeast, I've only used the k1v-1116 so far, but I can attest that I had no problem using it in 2 of my project wines.
As a newer homebrewer in a region with no winemaking stores, it is hard to get a variety of yeast for an economical price, and since different projects work better with different yeast, this is a perfect option. Having made good wine up to 16% in the past with bread yeast, I wasn't sure what to expect as far as differences go aside from nuance to flavor or flocculation(sediment compactness), but the k1v-1116 I received actually made me consider a blowoff tube due to its high activity. There is definitely a difference. This variety included some that lalvin identifies as good for ciders, good for champagne and fruit wines, mead, ale, and some overlap in between - one variety pack is enough for anyone to dabble for about $0.50 per brew if you use a half packet or less.
