there ok for the primary ferment with the lid on losely the c02 keeps the wine good but when that slows down you can get all kinds of nasty's getting in you can fit a bung and airlock into a bucket lid with some carefull cutting or drilling
i use a bucket for the first week or 2 and then syphon it into a demijohn
