How are placing the bottles?  Are you leaving them in the bottle racks or as individual bottles just set out on the floor?  I'm not sure by any means, but if you are leaving them in the rack, the game might be treating the racks as a container like it does the chests and fridges.  When you save lots with items in them to the library, everything in them disappears which sounds like what you have going on.  So, you could try setting the bottles on the floor before you save the lot.

Hope this helps.

Yes, the bottles were left in the bottle rack.

I will mark this as a solution. But the thing is, when I place the bottles in a lot, save it, and then load it, the nectar is no more aged, so it's basically useless to even bother with it.

Yeah.  That's to be expected really.  Almost everything reverts back it its initial state when you save it to the Library or Gallery then reinstall it somewhere else.  All the object upgrades are gone for instance.  Garden plants and trees will sometimes hold their quality level and sometimes not though.  Perfect plants seen to hold but anything less might revert.  The video station will lose its bought upgrades - camera, box and ring lights too.  It's just the way the game works.
