Default Pump for wine

Any suggestions on a type or manufacturer of a small pump, (Max 1/12 HP)
suitable to move the wine up from primary to a demijohn 6 ft up
All the small pumps I hav examined require 2 tablespoons of oil to be
inserted in the pump instead of priming, This obviously is no good for the
wine

If you have a built in vacuum cleaner or a powerful regular vacuum cleaner
you might also consider a vacuum racking system.
You can make it yourself out of some half inch hose, a bung with two holes
in it and a way to adapt your vacuum to the half inch hose.
I have a FloJet pump but rarely use it since learning about and building a
vacuum system.
I can rack a carboy in 2-3 minutes.
