Baroda Founders Wine Cellar is nestled in the heart of southwest Michigan, one of the best grape growing regions of the world. With Lake Michigan to the west, the climate is ideal for growing bountiful harvests of fruit. The area is called the Lake Michigan Shore AVA (American Vinticultural Area) and it allows [the] Lake Michigan Shore Wine Trail wineries to produce high-quality award-winning wines.

Homemade Wine: Bottling
Video made from clips taken while bottling a batch of Pinot Grigio made from a wine kit.

Bottling Wine
Out of a 1 gallon batch I got 3/5 bottled on each. Had I strained the pulp in the beginning I'd have probably gotten 4/5.
I use an auto siphon with a racking cane for bottling. It's a bit awkward to get it started as I need three hands, but I'm creative. I have a hand/floor corker. I'll let these age a few months at least, if I can anyway, and then chill some down for a test. Still working on consuming the rest of my strawberry wine.
