Preparing beer or wine bottles can
be the most time consuming part of the hobbies. It is critical that the
bottles be clean and sterile prior to filling. When using used bottles
you must remove the old labels in order to not contaminate your sanitizing
solution with paper fiber and glue.

Faster filling with less air. Bottling
wands are rigid tubes, open at one end and fitted with a automatic on-off
valve at the other end. The bottling wand allows a bottle to be filled
with a minimum of air being introduced to the wine or beer. The wand
also acts as a fill meter to make sure each bottle has the correct head
room. The amount of head space in the bottle will influence the carbonation
of beer or sparkling wines.
