ABSTRACT:
The method of riddling wine contained in bottles packed in shipping cases in which the cases are inverted to allow solids to settle into the necks of the bottles, tilting the cases from side to side to jostle the bottles, and vibrating the cases and bottles contained therein, the jostling and vibrating of the bottles serving to dislodge solids in the wine from adherence to the bottles so that the solids settle onto a temporary cap at the outlet of the bottle for disgorging when the cap is removed. The cases of bottles are tilted and vibrated for periods from about ten minutes to about thirty minutes to dislodge solid particles from adherence to the bottle, and the tilting and vibrating is halted for periods from about one hour to about six hours until tilting and vibrating is again effected. The disclosed apparatus for riddling bottled wine includes a frame having a floating mounting and a motor driven eccentric weight carried on the frame for vibrating the frame and cases of bottles thereon, together with rows of inflatable air bags along the opposite sides of the frame for alternately lifting such sides and jostling the bottles within their compartments in the cases. A clock system controls the power supply to the vibrator motor and the air supply to the inflatable air bags, the clock system being adjustable for supplying electrical current to the vibrator motor at preselected times and for periods of predetermined duration, and for supplying air under pressure alternately to the air bags at one side or the other of the frame at selectively predetermined intervals and for periods of predetermined duration.
