Did you do a big bucket or a wee one? If it is a big bucket, you ought to use a sterilised 'dipper' or you will introduce bacteria into the wine. However, I made a 30 bottle kit of chardonnay for crimbo and I cba bottling it so I take a jug straight from the diswasher (and a funnel), and scoop the wine from the bucket into the funnel (which has been put in the top of the bottle which is nearing empty) and put the now full bottle back in the fridge. My theory is it is only me consuming the end product. usually I do the whole sterilising, siphoning thing and give away most of the wine but I decided this time it was just for me so personally I don't think it is bad CHEEERS!!!!
