Thought this was best in a separate thread

Has anyone ever used or had a BUON VINO BOTTLE FILLER or similar syphon based filler. (no enolmatic comments )

Bought a Buon Vino bottle filler thinking it'd be brill. Couldn't get it set up to work right. Wasted some wine with it, gave up, Bob assured me it should work fine. So left it at his house about 2 or 3 years back. It may still be loafing in a corner of his winery, maybe got binned when he moved..

I wouldn't buy one again, I'd go with the cheaper option of a bottling stick. I still have one of these, and use it a fair bit.
