A lot of the time we have to use sub standard glass bottles when making wine merely because we can not uncover a first-rate supplier of clean bottles. You should always use fresh bottles as aged bottles can have cracks that the eye can not see and smells or microbes from it’s old product.

This is not just true for glass bottles, it also applies to jam jars. No one wants to make a pot of raspberry jam, only to find it tastes of pickles because the jar was used for that. The suitable place to find suppliers of jam jars and glass bottles, is not the high street, it is the net. I have a fine supplier who delivers within 48 hours. Don’t settle for second best by reusing older jars and bottles for your jam or wine making. Make top quality jam and wine by using top quality glass bottles and jam jars.
