Have you ever wondered how the beverage gets into the bottle? I made some short videos to show you how bottling does work!
First of all the bottles get washed:
Then they get filled. The bottling machine is connected to a tank, from which the liquid is pumped to the machine.
Here they get filled under pressure so that the CO2 can’t escape from the sparkling wine.
And finally, because we have sparkling wine, the bottle gets corked (first station)and the cork gets fixed with an agraffe (second station).
Now we have a beautiful fresh bottled sparkling wine.
This is the bottling process of a sparkling wine which is not traditional bottle fermented. If you want to read more about traditional bottle fermentation, click on the following link:
