  • Patent number: 5299408
    Abstract: An apparatus for processing one or more wine bottles to extract and replace corks safely. Specifically, a compartment segregates a first volume from a second volume and contains wine processing tools. Introduction of an inert gas to the first volume displaces oxygen from the first volume. An oxygen meter monitors levels of oxygen to allowing an operator to reduce the oxygen level below a predetermined level before start of processing. An operator uses the wine processing tools placed within the compartment directly by placing their hands and arms through apertures into elastomer gloves. The wine processing tools include a cork extractor, wine filling funnel and a cork inserting apparatus. The processing is all carried out within the inert atmosphere allowing an efficient, economical and safe cork extraction and insertion without promotion of oxidization of the wine.
