I am considering getting into making wine within a year or two. I have
no experience with wine making at all. I have four grape vines in my back yard that I am considering making the wine from. I am sure that with only four vines I will only realize a small amount of wine at the end of the process. My questions concern bottle size when I get to that stage. Question one: Does the size of the bottle matter? I am considering using beer bottles. The reason I ask is with such a small amount of wine that can be made from four vines, a 750 ml bottle would represent a large portion of the total I would make. I would prefer to open a small amount when it comes time to drink it. Question two: Is the opening of a beer bottle the same diameter as a wine bottle? In other words, can I use the same type cork ss for a wine bottle? Question three: Will other types of caps work or cause problems on a beer bottle besides a cork? I ask since I know someone who home brews and can borrow beer bottling equipment from him. I would also appreciate any suggestions about making small quantities of wine such as I would be doing. |
