Vinator Parts

Does anyone know where I can buy parts for a Ferrari Avvinatore Vinator (You know... that red and white bottle rinsing thing)?

I dropped mine the other day and broke the threads of the white housing that contains the spring and plunger.

I know I could just spend the 20 bucks and buy whole new one but I hate being wasteful.

I'd also like to get my hands on some additional branch rings for my bottle tree. That silly little tree doesn't have enough branches for a 5 gallon batch.

Thanks for your help...

 

Good question, I'm curious too. The threads on mine broke as well. But I've just scrapped using it altogether. Just make a bucket or use a 5 gallon kettle filled halfway (this is easier than the bucket) with starsan solution, take a bottle in each hand, dunk them, put your thumb over the ends, shake for a second and dump out and put on your bottling tree. Continue on to the next set of bottles. Actually is quicker and easier than the vinator, in my opinion. And you don't need to let them fill all the way, just dunk for a second and let some get in. That's all you need.

 

Hi, we carry and sell the Ferrari Avvinatore Vinator and this is the weakest part of the system, the threads. Unfortunately they do not offer any parts for that system.
