Making wine at the Wine Bottega is very easy to do. When you make a batch of wine you will have approximately 28 to 30 bottles (750ml) in just 4 to 6 weeks depending upon the style of wine that you have selected. This is how it goes:
- You select the grade and style of wine from our product lists.
- We then assist you in mixing the ingredients of your wine. It is imperative that you sprinkle the yeast into the wine mix. This usually takes about 5 minutes of your time.
- We then select a date and time for when you will return to bottle your wine. This is usually 4 to 6 weeks later.
- During that 4 to 6 week period, the Wine Bottega will continue to process your wine to completion.
- When you return you must bring with you 30 empty wine bottles. If you do not have any bottles, the Wine Bottega has new wine bottles available for sale.
- You will then load your 30 bottles into our washing machine where they will be washed and sanitized in approximately 3 minutes.
- Once the bottles are ready, you will then bottle your wine using our automatic bottle filler, our pneumatic corker and our shrink-wrap machine. This generally takes about 20 minutes of your time.
- Your wine is now ready to take home.
