Wine in bottling bucket, ok to delay bottling by 48h?
First, I mostly do all grain beer, and have CO2 available. For wine I use wine kits. Mostly from Costco. Folk tell me I make good wine, but TBH I don't drink it much.
I, being ill prepared, got everything ready to bottle, or so I thought. Cleaned and sanitized the bucket, bottles and equipment, transferred cleared wine from the carboy to my favorite bottling bucket...
I then realized I cannot for the life of me find my bottling wand.
My question, if i purge the headspace in the bucket with CO2 then seal the lid and airlock it, will it hold over for a couple of days till a new bottling wand arrives from Amazon? Being a kit wine it does have a stabilizer in it, but I'd appreciate a second opinion.
If the style matters, it's a Pinot Grigio.
