Even a small build up can affect the next wine to be poured through it. You should flush the system at least once a week. Treat a wine systems like real ale lines, date your bottles/boxes when they are open so you can gauge how long they have been open for. If you can serve better wines by the glass you will see a great uptake on wines and a great return. There's now over 20 different systems on the market to help you solve any wine by the glass problems. If anyone would like free advice please contact me at jim.ledwith@vintellect.co.uk or visit <code>www.vintellect.co.uk.</code> Also Nitrogen is actually slightly lighter than air but works very well as a wine preservation gas by replacing the air in the headspace above the wine to avoid oxidation. Argon is also often used as a 'blanket' over the wine as its 2.5 times heavier than air and acts to protect the wine from contact with oxygen. These new systems can preserve open bottles of wine for 14 days allowing the sale of premium wine by the glass and increasing profit.

I have done this. Not sure what cleaner to use .

I don't have a problem at the moment but wondered if at some time the wine lines need a clean out. Some times when I change the bag in the box the first glass after is a bit hazy. Mathew Clarke have left a connection with a bit of beer pipe on it not sure where this goes. I have draught wine on sale, red and white.
