How to Make Wine - Step 5 - Bottling

Using an automatic bottle filler, the wine is transferred into bottles, leaving enough room for the cork. Finally, with a floor mounted bottle corker, bottles are corked and their appearance dressed up with professionally designed labels and caps. Bottles are left upright for two days to allow air pressure to be released and the cork to fully seat. When you bring your wine home, lay the bottles on their side in a cool room (approximately 50-60 degrees) for the final aging process (at least 3 months for whites and 6 months for reds).

@drgrant01 Red wines are filtered. Commercial wineries may differ in this, but all wines can be filtered. This will not strip colour, ever. It will not strip taste or harm the wine in any way unless it was done incorrectly. For example, unclean equipment, residual water in the filtering machine (certain pumps hold more water than others) as this will need to be cleared from the lines, etc.

I thought this was red wine? In "step one" you said it was pinot noir.

So why is the end product white?

Doesn't make you look good for what you're trying to sell to people.

Thanks for the great videos! But wouldn't you want to rinse the bottle AFTER disinfecting? Just curious b/c next time I have a glass I'm going to be watching out for the taste of Purell :/
