Newbee here on my first batch of Cab Sav from juice pails.
ready to bottle.
Quick question.
I have approx 82 bottles cleaned, sanitized, ready to go. I have my demijohns ready to syphon. If I fill all the bottles first, then start corking them, will this have the wine out in the open for too long? Will this do damage.. Im a one man show this weekend so I dont have a 2nd set of hands to start corking as I fill the bottles..
I would imagine the wine would be out in the open for max 45 min - 1 hour before I have the last bottle corked. How long would 80 bottles take?
Either way once the stopper is off the demijohn the wine is going to be exposed to oxygen anyways untill all the bottles are full..
What do you think?
