Transferring Wine

We use tanks to store the wine during the many stages of the winemaking process. Between these stages, quite often the wine is required to be moved from one tank to another; we call this process a transfer.

To transfer the wine we will need to connect one tank to another and place a pump in-between them to force the wine in the direction we want it to go. The main topics we would like you to come away with after watching the video are

• Setting up equipment and how to use it

• How to protect wine from oxidation during a transfer

• How to clean and sanitize equipment

This video was made in-house by our cellar hands, to give an overview of how to complete the task. However, more in depth training will be provided for any new staff.

Feel free to post questions in the comments section of the youtube video, and we will answer them as quickly as we can.
