Sometimes when you reach the bottom of a bottle of wine, you may find stains on the inside of the bottle itself. If you need to reuse the wine bottle in any way, you'll likely want to remove these stains before doing so. You may want to also sanitize the inside of the wine bottle after you finish cleaning it. If you clean and sanitize your wine bottles, chances are good you'll remove any stains in the process and end up with a sanitary bottle you can reuse however you like.
Instructions
1. Drop two denture tablets into the bottle after you have filled it with warm water. This is what master sommeliers Sally Mohr and Wayne Belding recommend for getting stubborn wine stains off of glassware.
2. Rinse out the wine bottle and scrub with a bottle brush or similar tool.
3. Spray a sulfite solution into your wine bottle. Sulfite solutions are often called sulphatizers, and you can use them to sanitize the inside of the bottle.
4. Place the wine bottle upside-down and let it drain and dry. You can use a simple dish rack for this or a specially made bottle tree.
