I have made a some wine and have always bottled the wine after the
firmentation has ended in a glass carboy. I then leave the wine in
the bottles for some time until ready for consumption.

I am curious if bottling is absolutely required. For larger batches,
can I use a stainless steel tank to age and then dispense the wine as
required into a glass or carafe for immediate consumption directly
from the tank?

Any information or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Andrew
