Making your own wine at home is a rewarding task, and reaping the benefits of that hard work is a sweet reward. Fortunately, E.C. Kraus has everything necessary for home winemaking -- from racking canes to the siphoning hose. One of the biggest concerns when siphoning wine is the threat of crimping the hose. This issue is easily resolved with a curved racking cane. The curve also minimizes turbulence while siphoning, by maintaining the inner diameter. When combined with other wine equipment, like a 1/4 inch vinyl hose, transferring the wine into bottles becomes far less daunting.
