“Stop the Pop!” A Webinar on Avoiding Fermentations Post-Bottling

Bottling wines is tricky. Post-bottling fermentations even trickier. Photo by: Denise M. Gardner

Fermentations in bottled wines is one of the most common complaints I receive from wineries.

  • “I can’t believe that bottle popped. Who knows how it’s being stored.”
  • “I opened a case of wine last week, and I saw all 12 corks were being pushed.”
  • “Is there a more efficient way of re-bottling wines that have fermented after they are bottled?”

The answer is YES! Avoid post-bottling fermentations. (I know; easier said than done.) Many winemakers assume pushed corked is caused by a yeast fermentation. However, much of my experience has pointed me towards wines that are finishing malolactic fermentation or infected with Brettanomyces yeast.

While it can be tricky, taking the time to improve production operations usually leads to a reduction in popped bottles. This can be time consuming, but it’s a bit less time consuming (and frustrating) compared to uncorking bottles, pouring them into a wine tank, re-stabilizing the wine, and re-bottling.

If you’ve experienced this headache in the past, consider joining us to discuss ways to avoid post-bottling fermentations. You’ll walk away knowing the best practices on how to do it.

Register today for the “Stop the Pop!” webinar by becoming a part of the Darn Good Winemakers: an online network filled with like-minded winemakers that want to learn more to enhance wine quality in their cellars.
