Dave, I too got a Vinbrite for Christmas and as soon as I opened it I ran two batches, a 6 Gal Riesling and a strawberry. I was impressed how well it does. I do not really worry about how long it takes, as I just let it go and keep messing around the house and check on it every once in...

I was wondering if something like this would work for transfering wine? This is originally used to change oil. In germany they use these all the time on diesel motors. I was thinking it might not be strong enough, but if it can suck a few gallons of cold oil, then it should work for wine. I...
