Default Degassing?

What is the easiest way to degass your wine?

I personally like vacuum - very little air oxygen contact. See the video on my website http://allinonewinepump.com/

Easiest is probably a vacuum pump, as long as you have a glass carboy. (I haven't used a vacuum pump, so not certain.)

Cheapest is the big stirring spoon that you should have. I find moving the paddle from side-to-side more effective than round-and-round. Still takes a fair length of time.

I do like cpfan when I use the stirring spoon to degas - back and forth rather than round and round. Also make sure the temperature of the wine is around 75*F when you degas since the CO2 comes out a lot easier when it's warm.

Easiest is to let nature and time do it for you

I use a vacuum pump. Great for degassing, transferring and bottling

With a plastic carboy, I would use the drill attachment. It works great.
