Visual check after bottling (reds in particular)

[skyfire322]

So I found a video on the YouTube where someone said to fill one clear bottle of red so you can check the color to make sure it isn't turning brown or refermenting. This definitely makes sense to me.

Do you do something similar?

I think that by the time you can see it, it's too late. Follow good wine making practices and you should have a wine that will age longer than the corks being used, which is usually 3-5 years.

If you are particular enough, you'll know and follow proper procedures throughout your process. Aside from consuming, bottling your wine should be considered the last step! I do not know anyone who employs the "clear bottle" check.... Besides, by the time you notice it it'll be too late...
