Hello from Wisconsin. I had lots of pandemic free time on my hands last year and decided to try my hand at making fruit wines. I purchased a wine making kit only to find out my dad had one in his garage that hadn't been used in years, so I grabbed that too. I started with 10 gallons of apple wine and They both turned out great... now I can't stop! I have three gallons of beet wine bulk aging in the cellar right now, five gallons of apple that I just racked into a secondary, and five gallons of wild grape that I started today. I also have enough elderberries in the freezer for three gallons!
When I built my house more than 20 years ago, I included an in-ground root cellar that never held more than a few gardening tools and a couple sacks of potatoes so I converted to a wine cellar. I now have enough shelf space for about 200 bottles of wine and several secondaries... if I fill that up, I still have one wall empty where I can build more bottle storage. I may have a problem!
I do have a few questions about wine storage and my current apple wine. I will check out the forum to find the appropriate place for posting them.
