Hi Joe;

After fining I bulk age my wine in stainless beer kegs and, after a year or
so, decant the wine directly from the keg the same as you would beer. Works
just fine and eliminates the labour of bottling that much wine. Some say
that it ages better in bottles but I don't have the experience or palate to
tell the difference.

Beer kegs are pressurized with CO2 or a mixture of CO2 and nitrogen. I
pressurize/decant the wine kegs with nitrogen through used hardware I bought
from a beverage company that supplies hotels and bars.
