Hi all, new to the forum.
Would appreciate your views on how one would go about rebottling a good bottle of wine into smaller (say 125ml) bottles.
Let's say it was a bottle of Penfolds Grange, as an extreme example.
I assume preventing contact with air when you open the original bottle and transfer it to the receiving bottles will be key. Also sterilisation of the receiving bottles I assume would be imporant.
The smaller bottles would be opened and consumed in a month or two.
Any views from the pros would be greatly appreciated.
I am planning on giving this a whirl and then getting a couple of noses to blind test the results to see if they can taste the difference between the smaller bottles and the original.
Feel free to tell me I'm smoking dope for attempting this.
Thanks heaps
