How much wine do you need to open a winery?

How much wine do I need to produce? In this video I go over how much wine we sold for our first year open. Use this as a benchmark to figure out how much you will need to open your doors at a small micro winery. Do you have it in you to produce enough wine to get your very own winery started?

I recently got my permits through the TTB and now I’m waiting for the state permits. Your videos have been great to watch. My wife and I are starting a very small Meadery in PA. It’s stressful and exciting at the same time. Best wishes to you and thanks for the insight!

This video was immensely helpful! I live in a very similarly sized town in Colorado and it has been difficult to find examples of other wineries for smaller towns like ours. Thank you!
(Before watching this, I was one of the people you mentioned at the beginning. Planning to stockpile as much as possible before opening haha. But now, my new goal is by January)

Can you talk about the bookkeeping that you are having to do? The TTB requirements on keeping track of things like chaptalization are pretty simple to understand. Where it gets confusing for me is the bookkeeping that the TTB requires going along with sales. Thanks for any help you can provide!

Did you ever make a video on the how to fill out the Federal permit?

Yea I can wait! I’m dreaming of creating my own cidery messing with some home brew stuff now getting my recipes down. But the nice thing about cider is you are considered a winery and here in PA you can be a limited winery capped at 200k gallons a year so I can wait for your videos on the federal stuff! I was so annoyed I would need to hire a lawyer because it’s so complex and not a lot of info on it. Was it a whole process getting you labels and copyrights approved as well?

Love your content. How long do you age your wine before selling? Also, how long from start of fermentation to bottling?

What is your current method for bulk sterilization of bottles? I assume you have a time and cost-effective method.
