Bottling in pictures

Last weekend we bottled the red.  I hadn't done much preparation and afterwards realized I did most everything wrong. I'll write more about that later. 

Still, we now have 91 bottles and took away an additional 8 litres for quick drinking.

Here are the highlights.

First wash the bottles...


Dry them...



Down into the cellar...


The target of our affections...


Prepare the funnel...



Start siphoning...


Resist the temptation...


In go the corks (no action shot)...



Always important ... an attractive young lady to market your product...



On with the foil caps...




And pile 'em high...
