Wine bottling is the process of transferring wine from large storage containers, such as barrels or tanks, into individual bottles for sale and consumption. This step is crucial as it helps preserve the wine's quality and flavor while also making it easier to transport and store. During bottling, the wine is filtered to remove any impurities, and sometimes additives are included to enhance stability. After filling, bottles are sealed with corks or screw caps, labeled, and packaged for distribution. Proper bottling techniques ensure that the wine remains fresh and enjoyable for consumers.
