<p>An apparatus for processing one or more wine bottles (26) to extract and replace corks safely. Specifically, a compartment (12) segregates a first volume from a second volume and contains wine processing tools. Introduction of an inert gas to the first volume displaces oxygen from the first volume. An oxygen meter (22) monitors levels of oxygen to allowing an operator to reduce the oxygen level below a predetermined level before start of processing. An operator uses the wine processing tools placed within the compartment directly by placing his hands and arms through apertures (50) into elastomer gloves. The wine processing tools include a cork extractor (30), wine filling funnel (32) and a cork inserting apparatus (34). The processing is all carried out within the inert atmosphere allowing an efficient, economical and safe cork extraction and insertion without promotion of oxidization of the wine. <IMAGE></p> |
