Yes, I suppose you could say so....with perhaps some bit of pressure from my
family with comments like "Ew, that's gross".

Although there are some other considerations as well. I had just been using
a tube and found that I had some trouble monitoring both ends - was the
output end in place not spilling all over the floor and was the input side
submerged enough, but not stiring up the sediment. With the new method, I'm
hoping to not have to monitor the input end quite as much.

In general, microbes capable of living in your mouth can NOT survive in
wine, so I
assume your concern about "sanitation" is an aesthetic one.
Good luck with your new siphon.
