Airlock or plug

[Casper]

I did the last racking for my Viognier and I want to age it in the carboy. Should I use an airlock or a plug?

I'd use a water lock just to be safe. Are you going to cold stabilize it?Edited by: Curt

Airlocks are a better bet just in case there is any yeast still active and in case there is a major change in barometric pressure. Either one could "blow your stopper." Be sure to check your airlocks monthly to make sure they remain half full.

Thanks, I will use airlock and no I don't cold stabilize it.

Also, you'd only want to use a solid bung during bulk aging IF your wine is completely degassed.
