The Bottle Filler Tip – A Tip You won’t forget

April 16th, 2009 by robin in wine making

We discussed auto siphons and their usefulness in the winemaking process. For the home winemaker who doesn’t wish to invest in a bottling machine or fancy bottling equipment there is a small inexpensive tip you won’t want to miss out on – the bottle filler tip.

The bottle filler tip is a small hard plastic tube which it approximately 15″ in length. It fits into the opposite end of the tubing from your auto siphon or racking cane. It has a small black pressure sensitive end on it. When the black tip is depressed against the bottom or side of a bottle the wine will flow through it. As soon as you lift up and the pressure is released, the wine flow is stopped. This allows for a very controlled flow of wine into your bottles so you can have precise filling with minimal spillage.

Considering you may already have an auto siphon or racking cane in your stash of wine making supplies this is an extremely cheap addition. The bottle filler tip can be found for under $5.00 each so it is hard to argue against using it.

Up next, something that looks like a giant version of a bottle filler tip – the wine thief.
