wine bottling

Packaging fermented grapes

Wine bottling is the process of transferring wine from barrels or tanks into bottles for storage, aging, or sale.

The term covers both the industrial operation—with machinery for filling, corking, and labeling—and smaller-scale practices at wineries or by home winemakers.

The estate handles its own wine bottling rather than outsourcing.
