I just spent a big chunk of today washing and peeling labels off a gazillion bottles. My wine won't be ready to bottle for another few weeks but I just wanted to get the scrubbing of nasty ickiness out of the way now.
I used to wait til the last minute and scrub them and sanitize them and then bottle as soon as they're dry but that is exhausting to me...
I do have a newly dubbed "wine room" in my basement but after last week I'm worried about spiders. I HATE cleaning spider webs once, let alone twice... so I don't want to store them back in the cases (besides, most of my bottles are from friends and they don't even have cases...
Now that I have the room to store bottles in that room instead of my brother's garage I can do things ahead of time. I was kind of considering getting some clear plastic bins and sorting them by color in those to keep dust and bugs out.
Thoughts? How do you store your clean bottles? Suggestions?
