ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for manipulating bottles of wine to precipitate and collect sediments in the wine includes a base frame from which a pair of stanchions extend upwardly. A rectangular frame is disposed between the stanchions and pivotally supported by the stanchions to rotate about a horizontal axis. A generally cubic housing is disposed within the rectangular frame, and is pivotally supported by the frame on an axis which is perpendicular to the horizontal axis. The housing includes doors which permit the unloading of bins of wine bottles supported in the housing in parallel arrays. The housing may be rotated slowly while the frame is slowly pivoted, so that the wine bottles are gradually rotated and tipped from horizontal to vertical disposition, the sediments in the wine precipitating to the upper neck portion of each wine bottle.
