I got a new Vacuvin wine saver and had read it could be used to degass wine also. I put in on a clean airlock and proceeded to degass my one gallon jug of apple wine. Worked great so I put it on my one gallon jug of pineapple wine. Again worked great so I thought why not see if my 3 gallon jug of Muscadine needed degassing. It sucked the wine up through the airlock faster than you can say Oh sh**.
Lesson: do not vacuum degas from a plastic carboy. I had forgotten it was plastic not glass. One more reason to get some glass carboys.
