I have quite a few mead projects coming up that will be ready to bottle in the next few months. 6 gallons are very high Abv, the rest is around 14%. I want to age some of it for several years. I will be using good quality corks, but I have a few questions.
Is wax dipping a good idea to preserve wine longer? I assume the seal is better than the shrink wrap option?
Can I use beeswax? It would seem fitting with a mead.
I understand that bottles corked need to be stored on their sides. If they are wax dipped the cork cannot dry out. Does this mean I can store upright?
