Hello all. I've just started a Coopers Larger kit and have recently bought a supply of the 500ml PET Bottles.
One thing that encouraged me to get the bottles is that we have a touring caravan and weight can become an issue when loading so I thought the plastic bottles would be better than carrying glass. Bit finicky but that's how my thinking was going when buying them.
So my question is with regard to Wine, I make up a few kits from time to time usually beverdale red.
And touch wood I usually get Drinkable results.
Is there anything that could go wrong with using the same PET Bottles for storing wine. (The ones I have bought are the brown ones) 500ml is probably just a good size for us to have a glass with a meal whilst away in the van.
I'm wondering how long I could store it for in plastic as apposed to the usual glass.
I'm thinking of graduating to the larger kits the 6 bottle ones are ok but it never lasts long enough to test the theory of ageing.
Best regards to all Brian
