Botteling questions

[Deep Ocean]

Hi all,
Its rime to bottle my first batch ever... I did from grapes, muscat-hamburg, tasting along and feel its time to bottle. I have about 45 litters.
I saw most guide videos on you tube reccomnd to let the bottles dry after disinfecting them.
I do not have the possibility to dry them, is it really important? Will it be so bad if i fill the bottles while there still a little wet?
Many thanks!

It's not a big deal. When I'm bottling, my bottles are sanitized with a solution of sulfite / citric acid and set upside down on a bottle rack, and bottling begins when they are all sanitized. They're not dry from the sanitizing process at all, but the little bit of solution still left in them will cause you no problems. You've already (presumable) got sulfite in your wine anyway, there's not enough left in the bottles to be concerned with.
