In order to make more than 1 batch of wine while you drink the other you need a lot of bottles. I don't drink fast so I needed to prepare new bottles. Fortunatly I am also buying wine so I can use those bottles. It's a long process. I had to wash them, take off the tag stickers and clean them with sulfite. The worst part is stickers. Some of them can be detatch in hot water after 1-2 hours. For some others I need solvent to take off the glue. I'm also trying to illiminate clear bottles. Wine don't like light, so if the bottles are transparent, the wine cannot be kept for a long time. I try to choose only dark bordeaux shaped bottles. (The one on the left)
With time I will have a lot of them, but for now I only have 48. I can make 2 batch. Up untill now, my new wine seems to do well. It really smells like 'Chateau neuf du pape'. In 2-3 days I will be able to jump to next step.
