Nice Work
My compliments on your carpentry skills. Oak is a hard wood. You did a real nice job there.

You gotta upload a video to youtube of this thing in action once you get it tweaked/finished!

rhoffart, How do you control the level of wine in the bottle? Do you turn a pump on and off or just break the seal?

The suction tube is the lower one ... so when the wine gets that tube it starts sucking wine. At that point you just lift the handle and break the seal and the wine will stop flowing. If I set the vacuum pump at its lowest level it takes a few seconds longer to fill the bottle but you can stop it without sucking any wine.
On the highest setting it took about 8 sec. to fill ... on the lowest setting it took about 12 sec. to fill. Plenty fast for me.

Lets do. I went to JMHS class of 76. UTSA class of 1980. I plan on coming down for a visit once it "cools off" a bit. Folks are getting up there. Dad is 79, Mom is 78 so I like to get home a couple times a year as they don't travel much anymore do to health problems. I'll bring some wine to share/swap!
