Bottle or bag in a box

[MrGreenRS]

Good evening, I’m a newbie to wine making, first kit well underway but when it’s ready to bottle should I bottle it of bag in a box it!?... if bag in a box how long will it keep for? Many thanks in advance for answers )

There are a number of factors that go into how well the wine will age, the container is only one of them. I think that if the wine has a proper level of free sulfur at bottling, the bag would be good for at least a year, but I wouldn’t wait more than two.

I did a few carboys of Skeeter Pee and put them in 1/2 and 1 gallon bags. It was all gone within a few months and was a hit.

I agree. I like the bags and think they’ll easily last a year and more if you make sure to get all the air out.

The only real problem with bags is: it ain’t gonna last. Too easy to sample. If it’s going to have a chance of aging for me, it’s gotta be in a bottle.
