And another question. If you have to top up every week or so with 100
to 200 ml of wine, where does that top up wine come from? How do you
store variable volumes of wine for topping up? You can't take 100 ml
from a carbouy. Do you bottle wine prematurely? I suppose you could
top up with commercial wine and drink the remainder. What do you do?

Getting a barrel next year.
