Abstract:
1. A wine extraction device for the extraction of wine from within a bottle sealed by a cork comprising: a hollow non-coring needle having an inlet at one end and an outlet at a second end and wherein said needle is adapted to penetrate beyond said cork such that said outlet is positionable within said bottle; said needle operable to penetrate through a foil covered cork without damaging the integrity of said cork and maintaining the ability of said cork to seal said bottle after said extraction and removal of said needle; a pressurized source of gas, said gas selected to not react with said wine; a pressure regulator operable to reduce the pressure of said gas from said pressurized source to a lower pressure at a regulator outlet, wherein said regulator is connected to said pressurized source at a regulator inlet; said lowered pressure selected to drive said wine out of said bottle through said needle but prevent an expulsion of said cork; a valve having a first valve inlet connected to said regulator outlet and a first valve outlet connected to said needle inlet, said valve having a second valve outlet for the passage of gas or fluids from within said bottle; and wherein said valve controls the flow of gas from said pressurized source into said bottle through said needle and the flow of gas or wine from within said bottle through said needle and out of said second valve outlet.
