Calendario lunare 2026 per l’imbottigliamento del vino: i momenti migliori per imbottigliare

Choosing the right moment to bottle is essential to best preserve the quality of the wine, and the tradition linked to the lunar phases continues to be a valuable reference for many producers. In this article, you will find the lunar calendar with an indication of the most suitable periods to bottle your wine.

The First Quarter is particularly recommended for sparkling wines, the Full Moon is suitable for bottling all types of wine, the Last Quarter is ideal for wines intended for long aging or sweet wines, while during the New Moon (or black moon) it is preferable to avoid bottling any wine.
