RJ Spagnols Wine in my airlocks!?!

[JOESILVA401]

An anyone tell me what's wrong here? Am I topping up too much? I'm getting wine seeping into my airlocks but on in a couple of my aging wines....Thanks for any/all feedback.

It's the air pressure and or warmer temperatures.

Remove airlock carefully and clean. Remove maybe 20-30 ml of wine (a sips worth) and reapply airlocks.

I fill mine to the bottom of the lower knuckle. Sometimes it moves into the airlock a bit.

Depending when the last time you sulfiting you may want to add a pinch now.

Joe, I would say topping up too high. Changes in temperature and barometric pressure can result in what you see. I try to keep my wine about 2" below the bottom of the stopper or just at the start of the neck.
