I think <<THIS>> is what you are looking for. About the 5th post.
Shirlthegirl is our winemaking expert but I think you just need to "swirl" it around a bit - notice the technical terminology
- like I know what I'm talking about 
What sort are you making? We have enough Bl@@dy dandelions to supply the EU wine mountain here

If there are a lot of lees in the bottom of the demi-john, siphon the wine into a clean dj first so it will fall clear more quickly after the degassing. I have a long-handled spoon which I use for all my brewing (it reaches the bottom of the 5 gallon bucket) and I use the handle of that for stirring the dj when I don't feel up to shaking the whole shebang!
If the wine is already clear, bottle it up but don't quite fill the bottles - put your thumb over the top and shake well, remove thumb and allow the gasses out. Repeat till the fizzing has died down. Top up from another degassed bottle.Happy Gardening,
Shirley

There is a piece of equipment called a degasser which fits on to the end of a drill.
It super whizzes the wine and leaves it really crisp tasting. My friend swears by it.Comment
