Moving House and taking wines

[Paulwales]

I'm moving house at the weekend and will need to take the wines with, I assume I just rack and degass them?

.... and only gently seal the DJ's, so that if they degas anymore on the road they'll blow only the seal rather than the DJ? or is that paranoid?

...and drive VERY carefully!

We're also moving in a few weeks - hopefully anyway. I was just planning on putting them in the boot / rear foot-well of the car and, as Lush says, driving very carefully.

But we're only going a couple of miles.

I've also deliberately not started any new ones for a while. Of course that does means that I now have a freezer full of fruit that I need to move!

I'm only moving a mile away out of my mums house so I'll take one at a time when its convienient.

Thanks

Mile away should be no problem at all...

I bottled all mine the 400mile trip up here. It did mean not starting any for a while, and sorting lots of bottles out etc.

Good luck with the move!!

Does your new house have a designated wine making area?

I'm lucky enough to be divorced so the whole of the kitchen is designated ...seriously though the kitchen is bigger than the living room with oil burning Stanley bit like an AGA... tonnes of space on the work surfaces so I've designated some space in the wine making area for plates cups and saucers
