    Abstract: The invention is a device used for washing bottles for reuse in bottling wine, beer, soda or other liquids, which is comprised of a supporting frame, an input for water from a water source, a number of water spouts or rinse attachments over which bottles can be inverted for washing, and a manifold for channeling the water into the water spouts or rinse attachments. The device may be fashioned from a variety of materials, including metals and plastics. The preferred construction has six water spouts or rinse attachments, which clean the bottles automatically after the bottles are placed over them, and is made from standard pipes and fittings. The bottles drain automatically as they are cleaned. The device requires minimal operator attention and can be set up, started and left unattended until completion of the operation. A particular embodiment of the apparatus incorporates a fan spray nozzle providing a fan spray angle of 110 degrees. The device functions optimally at a water flow rate of 0.8 to 1.
