WineXpert How to get the bunging bung out?

[baitbucket]

So I was doing some first time experimenting with a brake bleeder tool for degassing my Eclipse Barolo and there is now a bung in the bottom of my full of beautiful wine carboy.

Question.... do I leave the bung and the wine where it is OR transfer the wine to get it off the bung to avoid any bungy taste?

The instructions say that I'm not to transfer it again until June 17th, so I could just leave it where it is given that isn't much time?

Finally, any advice on how to get the darn thing out once the carboy is empty?

Hope I haven't ruined this wine but if it is it'll give me an excuse to buy a new one and start over!

It shouldn't harm the wine. Leave it in there until you rack. I would probably try the plastic bag method to remove it. Works for corks in a wine bottle too.
