Return to article: How to Sterilize Wine Bottles
on 6/17/2008 Do you not need to rinse the wine bottles after using a sulphite solution? Typically I blast the sulphite into the bottle, let it stand a few minutes and then rinse with really hot water. I was always afraid of damaging my finished wine if I didn't rinse.
on 1/6/2008 If you're strapped for cash you can use bleach, 2 tablespoons per gallon. Just make sure to rinse really well (rinsing is not necessary with the sanitizing solution mentioned in the article, but you must rinse with bleach). There are various bottle brushes you can buy, some with thick wire handles that you can insert into a 3/8" drill, which wipes out the crud in the bottle really well.
on 12/1/2007 Excellent. I have a collection of wine bottles. This article can help.
