How to cork plum wine bottles
Assuming you already have your plum wine (or other fruit wine) made and ready to bottle, you will need the following supplies:
-Corks
-Corker
-Wine bottles
-Wine bottle labels
The first step is to sterilize your equipment. You can do this by boiling everything (corks, bottles, and the corker) for about 10 minutes. You can also use a no-rinse sanitizer, following the package directions. Once everything is sanitized, it is time to start bottling your plum wine.
Place a cork in the corker and then position the bottle underneath. Slowly depress the handle on the corker, driving the cork into the bottle. Be careful not to drive the cork in too far. You want it to be snug, but not so tight that you can’t get it out again.
Once all of your bottles are corked, you can label them. If you plan on giving them as gifts, you may want to include the date of bottling and/or how long to age the wine.
That’s it! Now you just need to wait for your plum wine to age and mature. Depending on the fruit used and the recipe, this could take anywhere from a few months to a year or more. When it’s finally ready, open a bottle and enjoy!
