Force Carbonating Wine

[Inner10]

Anyone have any suggestions for bottling wine from a keg without making a huge foamy mess? The counter pressure stopper on the tube idea is swell and all but it's a pile of pressure to hold back and makes for a slow fill.

Think the Blichmann beer gun would work?

The beergun works well, but it works about the same as the counter pressure set up.

The only thing I can think of is to make sure the pressure is purged, and no higher than about 2 psi to push the wine, and to make sure the bottles are ice cold.

Kinda what I've been trying, do you have a beergun?

Yes, I have one. I've only used it a couple times, though, due to the irritation I have with taking it apart and sanitizing it for only a couple of bottles so I still just do the BMBF for many beers!

Thanks Yooper, I may abandon my keg idea and do sparkling wine the traditional way. I just can't get it carbonated enough.
