Default sweet peppers inside for winter?

I overwintered a sweet pepper last winter but it did not do very well, I had
peppers about all winter but it was ones that were already on the plant when
I put it in the greenhouse.
I put it out in the spring and it did not produce well. The new ones I
started from seed had more peppers and earlier than it did!!!!
Hope you have better luck.

It's starting to be freezing temperatures here, so I've dug up and potted

a
bunch of sweet red pepper plants that I started from seed last winter.

They
had a good growing season, and I can't bear to see my babies die out

there!

I understand that peppers are a perennial, so if I succeed in keeping them
alive until May, it seems I would be way ahead of a normal planting of

young
plants with these oldsters??

Any experience out there in wintering over sweet pepper plants? I
half-tried once, and about all that happened was I was growing aphids

inside
:-(
