I have 2 one gallon carboys of cranberry wine that I made last winter - they have been appropriately stored with top up, K-meta, etc. When I mentioned that I was planning on bottling these this coming week, a friend who adores cranberry asked if I would bring some to a get-together in 10 days (this would include a 5 hours road trip). Any thoughts on the resilience of 10 month old cranberry wine to stand up to bottling, travel and uncorking all in 2 weeks?

whew, but yes i believe it will still be in shock, bottling and transporting so close it pulling a cork, it probably wont be at it's prime.

I have not worried about bottle shock when taking new wine to meetings, if to tasted good at bottling it is similar when open. ,,, Cranberry has a dominant tannin like flavor which should be what folks notice.
