41 SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CLEANING WINE AND/OR A BARREL CONTAINING WINE US15752893 2016-08-18 US20180237732A1 2018-08-23 Elyashiv DRORI
There is disclosed a system and method for processing wine and/or a containing barrel, while keeping a volume of most of the wine in the barrel. The disclosed system and method can provide reduced mixing of different layers of wine in the barrel. An optional scrubbing mechanism cleans an interior surface of the barrel from encrusted matter, and an optional UV sterilization light source sanitizes an interior surface of the barrel that is alongside a cavity in the barrel empty of wine. In some embodiments a pumping and filtering system preserves non-mixing flow of wine in the barrel while effectively filtering wine optionally without the use of a filter cartridge or other interposing medium.
42 Removal of Sediment from a Container Holding Liquid US13667802 2012-11-02 US20130056099A1 2013-03-07 Patrick William Alkemade; Brett Shellcott
A sediment removal assembly is provided for removal of sediment in a container. The assembly has a container seal for sealing an opening to the container. The container seal is formed with a seal body with a flow through passageway between opposite ends of the seal body, and a valve arrangement with a valve member normally spring biassed to close said passageway. One end of said seal body is adapted to sealingly engage said container at an opening thereof to close the opening. The assembly also has a sediment reservoir adapted for removable sealing engagement with the opposite end of the seal body and in communication with the flow through passageway so that upon opening the valve member.
43 handheld controller for filling wine barrels US12792410 2010-06-02 US20110297271A1 2011-12-08 Raymond Haak
A handheld controller for filling wine barrels with wine or other liquid containers with liquid includes a pressure sensor and a removable dip tube. The dip tube is inserted in the wine barrel and a pressure sensor coupled to the dip tube measures a pressure in the dip tube. The measured pressure corresponds to a liquid level in the wine barrel. The handheld controller is also coupled to a pump for filling the wine barrel with wine. The pressure sensor may be calibrated to detect a desired fill level of the wine barrel. A microprocessor in the handheld controller monitors the measured pressure of the dip tube and shuts off the pump when the measured pressure reaches the calibrated pressure. The handheld controller improves throughput of filling wine barrels and reduces or eliminates overfill of wine barrels, thereby reducing unsanitary or hazardous conditions.
44 Wine Bottle Rotation System US11795597 2006-08-22 US20080251478A1 2008-10-16 Troy D. Jaskowski
The wine bottle rotation system (10) includes a wine rack formed from a pair of vertical support members (12) having a plurality of horizontal support members (14), or shelves, mounted therebetween. A plurality of rollers (18) are rotationally mounted between pairs of horizontal and vertical support members (14, 12) and are spaced apart such that a wine bottle (20) can be received between two adjacent rollers (18). Driven rotation of the rollers (18) causes the wine bottle (20) to rotate, thus preventing the settling and accumulation of free sediment (21) within the wine bottle (20) by the binding of sediment (21) to the inner glass wall of the bottle (20), decreasing the amount of free sediment (21) within the wine.
45 Magnetic wand for easy wine or beer racking US11327979 2006-03-23 US20070199199A1 2007-08-30 Frank Lake; Paul Murphy; Cyril Strong
A modification to the home alcoholic beverage (wine or beer) production process whereby the siphoning or “racking” wand is angled at the base to bring it in contact with the container wall where it is held firmly in place by the use of magnets as shown in the attached drawings. The beverage may then be racked with little or no sediment disturbance.
46 Remuage - riddling machine US11543448 2006-10-04 US20070133348A1 2007-06-14 Oleg Naljotov
A riddling machine for intensification of depositing lees in wine is provided. One embodiment comprises a first and a second row of struts respectively supporting pivotable gearboxes and supporting boxes, between which inclined shafts are disposed, and rotatable by a revolving motor through a common shaft, extending through the gearboxes, and by gears contained in the gearboxes. The inclined shafts' tilt is variable by an angular motor driving an angle-transmitting disk and the common shaft, further turning the gearboxes fixedly securing lateral bearings that support the inclined shafts from first ends. Second ends of the inclined shafts are supported by lateral bearings fixedly mounted in the supporting boxes, which are optionally attached to the second row struts by flexible suspension members. Each pair of the inclined shafts supports and revolves at least one bottle of wine. Most embodiments include control means to actuate said motors. Some embodiments comprise vibrating means.

49 Process permitting the modification of the chemical composition of the inner face of a barrel, and machine implementing such a process US87085 1993-07-07 US5331133A 1994-07-19 Bernard Cordier
The present invention relates to a process permitting the modification of the chemical composition of the inner face of a barrel, consisting in heating and in moistening the inner face of the shell (1) of this barrel, characterized in that it consists in alternately heating and moistening, according to a specified heating power and liquid flow rate, and for a specified time, the heating being distributed over the entire height of the shell.It also relates to a machine implementing this process and comprising a rotating support (12), heating means (19) and moistening means (20, 21, 22) which are vertically displaceable with respect to the main axis of the barrel.Application: barrels for wines and alcohols.
50 Wine recorking apparatus and method US754332 1991-09-04 US5299408A 1994-04-05 Albert Dupont
An apparatus for processing one or more wine bottles to extract and replace corks safely. Specifically, a compartment segregates a first volume from a second volume and contains wine processing tools. Introduction of an inert gas to the first volume displaces oxygen from the first volume. An oxygen meter monitors levels of oxygen to allowing an operator to reduce the oxygen level below a predetermined level before start of processing. An operator uses the wine processing tools placed within the compartment directly by placing their hands and arms through apertures into elastomer gloves. The wine processing tools include a cork extractor, wine filling funnel and a cork inserting apparatus. The processing is all carried out within the inert atmosphere allowing an efficient, economical and safe cork extraction and insertion without promotion of oxidization of the wine.
51 Method and apparatus for roasting barrels US840840 1992-02-25 US5271161A 1993-12-21 Joseph A. Brinck, II
A method and apparatus for roasting barrels used in aging alcoholic spirits involves directing a heated air stream through the inside of the barrel at a predetermined temperature for a predetermined duration. Compared to prior methods and apparatus which utilize direct flame impingement and often result in nonuniform roasting and undesired burning of the barrel staves, a heated air stream produces uniform roasting of the entire inside surface of the barrel. An indexable conveyor adapted to hold a plurality of barrels moves each barrel into alignment with an outlet. A stream of heated air flowed from the outlet enters an open end of the aligned barrel. A diverter plate located at the other end of the barrel partially impedes outflow of the stream, thereby increasing residence time of the air to uniformly roast the inside surface. The diverter plate mounts to an exhaust hood which may be moved toward and away from the ends of the barrels, thereby to permit movement of the conveyor into alignment with, and adjacent to, the ends of the barrels during roasting.
52 Device for protecting wine against excessive exposure to air US18854 1979-03-08 US4211115A 1980-07-08 Roald N. Engebreth
A device for protecting wine against the harmful oxidation and spoilage resulting from ullage (air space) which develops in wine aging containers. An inflatable bladder within the container, but free of contact with the inner surface thereof, is in communication with a reservoir of water disposed above the container, enabling it to expand to replace the volume of wine that normally seeps out of the container. A second duct allows the escape of air usually trapped, and a third duct may be opened to allow the water in the bladder to force out a sample of wine for tasting.
