Bottling

[Flafemina]

I have been aging a good blend of red (Cabernet Sauvignon-Pinot Noir) wine from juice for 10 months mostly in a carboy but in bottles for the past 5 weeks. I left the bottles upright. Should I store then like this and let age or should I store them on their side?

What type of corks are you using ??

Synthetics you can leave the bottle upright

Regular natural cork you should lay them on their side to keep the cork from drying out

 

[Flafemina]

Regular corks. You see any issue with the fact that they have been upright for 5 weeks?

Lay 'em down.

Lay them down of if you need to store it in the boxes, put the bottles in upside down.
