I'm on my third bottling of kit wine, and so far they all specify
that after bottling I'm supposed to leave the bottles upright
for a few dyas and then lay them on their sides.
Why?

Bob,
The cork acts like a piston and air is compressed when the cork is driven
into the bottle. The excess air pressure will equalize after a few days and
then the bottles can be laid on their sides.

Yes, the Darley Grand wine-tasting is on 16 September
Have Darley hotels arranged a wine-tasting for
this year?

Like Lum said... And if you lay them down too soon, the compressed air
will force the wine around the cork and you'll never get a good seal.
