Our experienced staff recommend following some of the tips below to help store and age your wine after bottling for the best results.
Temperature: The best temperature to store your wine is 12-15 degrees Celsius.
Storage: Store your bottles on their sides, this helps keep the corks moist.
Light: Keep the cellar dark when not in use and avoid florescent lights – they give off UV light that may be harmful to your wine.
Movement: If the bottles are moved this tends to disrupt sediment creating a haze in the wine.
Corks: Synthetic corks are best for long term storage anywhere between 1-5 years. They stop problems such as leakage & random oxidation.
Agglomerated corks are used for wines
for up to 1 year of aging.
Humidity: A relative humidity of 5-70%
will keep corks in a soft condition
& keep air out.
Sulphite Level: If your wine is being
aged for more than 6 months add an
extra ¼ tsp to 23L of wine. This will
ensure the safety of your wine.

Frequently Asked Questions
1.) What is the best way to store our wine?
It is recommended to keep your wine bottles in an upright position for the first three days. Doing this allows the cork to re-expand into the neck of the bottle. After that period you can store the bottles on their side in a cool, dark location.
2.) How long does it take to start my wine and then how long will it take me to bottle it?
a. Your involvement in the winemaking process is quite minimal. Once you decide on your wine all you have to do is sprinkle the yeast and away you go.
b. To bottle your wine you should expect the whole process to take approximately 45 minutes. You are guaranteed to enjoy every minute!
c. Note: Time may vary depending on the size of bottles.
3.) How many bottles does each batch of wine make?
Typically each batch will produce 30 of 750ML size bottles
4.) When do I pay for the wine?
We are governed by the AGCO (Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario) and are required to collect payment at the time of ordering
