Bottling temperature
Hello
At this time of year my wine cellar is very cold. (5C/42F) Is this too cold to bottle. Should I move the DJ out and let it warm up before bottling. Or can I just leave a little more ullage so that I don't overfill the bottles? thanks Joe

Bottling always introduces a lot of oxygen into the wine and cold wine can hold almost twice as much oxygen as 70 degree wine. Good luck, Lum Del Mar, California, USA
