Bottling Homemade Wine from an Oak Barrel — a Short Vineyard Video 🍷
Autumn and winter are a great time not only to plan the next growing season, but also to calmly work with the results of the previous harvest. This period includes one of the final stages of winemaking — bottling the finished wine.
In this short video, I show how homemade wine is bottled directly from an oak barrel:
the bottling process, corking the bottles, and the atmosphere of winemaking at a country vineyard.
This is a natural, aromatic, homemade port-style wine — with no added sugar, made from grapes grown by hand in my own vineyard.
The video is short, but it clearly conveys both the process itself and the mood of this important stage of working with wine.
Do you want to grow your own grapes?
Although my books do not yet cover winemaking directly, they provide a solid foundation for anyone who wants to grow their own grapes and later use them to make homemade products.
