Maybe, if your pour the wine into the carbonating bottle. Haven't tried it.

Yes. You'll need to clean the CO2 connection with hot water and a washcloth afterwards. I used it to carbonate a prototype sweetened wine and it worked fine. The presence of the sugar will cause the carbonated beverage to foam like crazy once you finally remove the bottle from the pressurization rig, so perhaps put the whole rig into the refrigerator for a day before hand to minimize the eruption. Re-seal the bottle promptly with the screw-on cap they provide.

I assume you can, but I did not have a chance to use them as they were delivered damaged beyond repair . I unfortunately realized this long after the time limit to return them. The plastic body is very thin, so I would test them out with a small amount first. Please check the necks of the bottles to ensure they are all intact . All 3 of mine arrived with tears in them. Good luck.

Technically you can use it to make wine. Thats what I bought it for as. The only problem is you will have to get a couple extra things. The capper it comes with is for capping beer bottles and wont do wine bottles. You can buy a wine corker, or just pound your corks in with a hammer and a piece of rod (or alternative). It also does not come with yeast (your going to want EC 1118 for wine/mead). I would replace the plastic bucket with another carboy ASAP and be really careful not to scratch the bucket until you do. This is because bacteria get in scratches and crevasses of plastic and are hard to kill. So clean well but also carefully. All that said, you can totally make wine with this kit.

Yes if you have big containers of spices. Don't know if you could do a double row of the average size bottles. I use it for larger items like vinegar, soy sauce, etc.

Use a good wine stopper, not the cork. A good rubber stopper will prevent the gas from escaping better than a cork.

Unfortunately no. The unit is too wide. You might be able to use the small (internal) tube as a racking cane for a wine bottles. haven't tried it thou.

Simple answer - no. The top of the silicone cork provides enough surface area to gently twist/pull these out of the wine bottle. When removed they sound like the bottle has just been opened. If the inner neck of the bottle is dry, they can be difficult to fully insert, but a little wine on the cork will help them fully seat. Once seated, I have never had an issue with leaks. Highly recommended!

Yes it would work well and we have done this. It is best when doing this to pour about 1/4 inch at a time and spray the surface with denatured or 91% rubbing alcohol to burst any air bubbles.

Yes you can. But for commercial pourpose remember that the quantities per time are not more than 1 liter.

I'd believe you can. It is just a little deeper before you put corks in and it has the handles for carrying.

No, too small for champagne bottles. Not so great for wine bottles, either, in my opinion, despite positive reviews.

Absolutely! I used only glass bottles and it worked like a charm. Now my daughter is on to sippy cups and use this as a drying rack for my wine glasses! ;)

I never tried that. That might make it work better. I really wouldn't buy the item. It realljy doesn't keep the bottle chilled well.

I'm thinking that with corks being absorbent they will soak some up creating air bubbles...the amount depends on the size of the countertop...sounds like a nice idea but just be careful to work in a ventilated area

I've never tried to make a carbonated beverage so I'm not sure of the process, but I assume you are somehow creating carbon dioxide in your juice. The wine making sets are designed with an air lock that keeps oxygen out but lets gas escape. If your carbonation project requires an airtight seal to retain the carbon dioxide, these might not be work very well for you. Both the primary fermenting bucket and the large glass carboy are good quality products and have worked well for my wine projects, and if I'm mistaken about your project not working with the air lock then I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

I don't think this corker can be used for champagne bottles as the push pin may need to be of a larger diameter so as not to push through a plastic champagne cork, nor does it compress the neck of the cork (but not the head) to fit it in the bottle if using a natural champagne cork - this corker is well suited to a straight bottle cork and works very well for its purpose.
