If you are making wine at home you need to know all about storing homemade wine properly, to keep it in the best possible condition. The process begins with bottling, and takes in storage, temperature control and more. Here’s our guide to getting the job right:
You can buy wine making kits to get the best out of your home wine brewing.
The best way to transfer wine from your secondary fermenter is by siphoning. This removes any unwanted sediments and minimises the air entering your wine while bottling. You should fill your bottles up to approximately one cm below the bottom of the cork when the bottle is stood upright.
The easiest way to add a cork is to use a corking machine. They are inexpensive and a great investment. Just remember these points about corks:
All newly filled wine bottles should be stored in an upright position for around 2-3 days to allow surplus air to seep out. After this, wine bottles should be stored sideways to allow contact between the cork and wine.
The moisture from the homemade wine will cause the cork to expand. This creates a secure vacuum which successfully seals your wine from the air!
Wine storage at home needs thought, too. Homemade wine needs to be stored in a place with the right temperature and humidity, free from light and vibration, to allow it to mature properly. Please see our ‘How to Store Wine At Home Guide’ for more detailed information.
