Step1
Place the container of wine on a table.
Step2
Place an empty container below the table, such as on the floor or on a lower table.
Step3
Place the notched end of the siphon tube into the container of wine. Be sure the tube is in the wine but does not touch the layer of sediment. (The sediment should be at the bottom of the container.)
Step4
Suck on the other end of the tube until wine begins to flow.
Step5
When the wine begins to flow, insert the tube into the lower container.
Step6
Fill the container.
Step7
When the container is full, or if sediment starts to travel with the wine, stop the flow by holding the hose in a downward position and pinching a section of it. Clamp if necessary.

on 1/6/2008 This will get the wine from one bottle to another. If you're making wine for the first time, this is okay, but there are more sanitary ways to do this. Ask your wine & beer supplier.
