Right, we now have clean, fined and filtered wine. We pour it into clean (yes and sterilised) bottles with a funnel. We need to cork it. Its possible to put corks in with a mallet. I use a corking gun and waxed corks that do not need to be soaked (plain corks do)

The gun is placed on the neck of the wine bottle and the cork gently eased into the neck a couple of mils

Finally the arms are pulled into the horizontal position driving the cork smoothly into the neck of the bottle
