bulk aging

[sandmanxy]

I have only made wine from kits whose instructions call for immediate botteling after it is clear.Would it benifet 3 mos. or so of bulk-aging prior to botteling?

Aging of the wine will help. Doesn't matter if its in bulk or bottle.

Steve is right: wine improves with aging.

I always age mine in bottles as I like to have my carboys free for
the next batch

If you plan on bulk aging make sure you top up your wine in the carboy. If you don't top it up the wine will oxidize.
