When brewing wine at home, glass bottles are the most ideal containers for alcohol fermentation and wine bottling. The reason is that the glass material itself will not make the wine smell. Cork stopper, synthetic stopper or screw cap can be used for glass bottles. If the storage conditions are ideal, wine can be stored for several years without deterioration.

if you don't need to store wine for a long time, but only store it for a short time, you can choose plastic bottles, but compared with glass bottles, plastic bottles are slightly less airtight, which makes it easier for trace oxygen to penetrate, thus affecting the quality of wine. However, within one year, the quality of wine is not significantly affected by oxygen. Therefore, plastic bottles can actually store wine for a short time. It should be pointed out that plastic materials are more likely to react with wine than glass materials, and the material of plastic bottles must belong to food-grade PET plastics.

the bottle cap of a plastic bottle can be the original bottle cap, or it can be purchased from a store, but it must be very suitable to ensure that the bottle mouth can be tightened. Bottle caps should also be cleaned and disinfected before use. In addition, plastic bottles do not react chemically with carbonic acid, so it is also a good choice to store sparkling wine in plastic bottles in a short time.
