Default Question about degassing with a VacuVin

I recently learned that you can remove gas from a carboy by fitting a
VacuVin vacum pump to it. So I did just that. Mind you, this is a wine
to which I previously added potassium bicarbonate to reduce the
acidity, so it had A LOT of CO2 in it. So anyway, I started pumping a
lot of gas started coming out. The thing is, it never seems to end! No
matter how much I pump, there is always more gas. Has anybody tried
this? How do you know when to stop?
