Hello all, Just wondering what the hivemind consensus is on the frequency of rotating your bottles 90° if stored in wine racks. Every 3 months? 6 months? Something else? And......go!
Never? Well, maybe every couple years if I rummage through the boxes, blow dust off a label, and think, 'Mmmmmaybe, nah, later.' ... But seriously. They don't need riddling. What's the point here, to move lees or reactivate it, or ??
Unless you're looking to remove sediment (disgorge) from the bottle, you don't need to rotate them. Rotating the bottles, or Riddling is a common practice used in Champagne. Its done weeks before Disgorgement. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traditional_method
I am not a procurer of sours/Lambik beers, but the only thing i recommend is making sure that your corks stay wet. That is one detail that always seems to carry over from beer to wine to spirits, etc. (I know you said wine rack, but I am just stating this for any passers by.)
