ABSTRACT:
An apparatus (1) for filling a wine barrel is disclosed. The apparatus has a nozzle (4) connected to a hollow handle (15) where the upstream portion of the handle is connected to a hose from a wine supply. Supply of wine in the apparatus is controlled by a control button (17) on the handle (15) which opens an upstream solenoid valve. The apparatus (1) has a locating lug (6) and arm (7) on the nozzle portion to allow generally vertical location of the nozzle in a barrel bung hole. The apparatus has a non-return valve (14) to prevent wine flowing from the hose to the apparatus when the upstream solenoid valve is closed. The apparatus has a conductivity sensor (9) to cause closure of the upstream solenoid valve when the wine in the barrel reaches a predetermined level.
