Joanie, in the posting below, is right. Bottling is noisy and the clanking of bottles can be heard in the Tasting Room all day long. For the winemaker it is the end of a long road.
This video begins with the dumping of bottles on the conveyor and follows the process to the end. Vacuuming, replacing the air in the bottle with nitrogen, an inert gas, filling, levelling wine level, corking, capsuling, labelling and then putting away.
Prior to bottling, all parts that come into contact with the wine, are carefully sterilized with 184F water. The bottles arrive from the plant sterile, sealed in their cases. The sterilized corks are in sealed bags. In addition tightly filtered air is blown into the bottling room creating a positive filtered air pressure environment.
