I've heard that if you read a book on diagnosing sickness, you'll be convinced you have every disease in the book. It makes you obsess in the details. THAT, is how I thought of sanitation. In that, I was somewhat obsessed with making sure there is no spoilage.
I started my first wine batch (ever) last year. It's been aging for 8 months now and I feel I may have used a tad too much of the sanitation agent. My wine (it's a little over a gallon) now smells and tastes like licorice.
What I am curious about is, before the modern sanitation agents and methods, what did the old world wine makers do to ensure that there was no bacterial damage?
