Better: get a party tap and some co2 line.
This sort of thing.

You shove a short bit of the gas hose in the nozzle (so it just reaches the bottom of the bottle + 5cm) and you have the world's cheapest and best bottling gun.
Pop a racking van on the other end. Perfect

Better still : get a party tap and I will send you the co2 line, as a gift.

Have a go. There is always more than one way.
Ps. They do tend to struggle with beer 'cos of the gas/foam.

Just bottled the damson wine today, was crystal clear
The automatic bottle filler seemed to work pretty well too, to switch between bottles

Looking good. Best give them a day upright before laying down.
There should be a nut on top of that corker that will adjust & push them in a little further.
Have you tasted it yet?

Re: First time making wine (damsons)
Ah cheers, didn't realise that re. the nut.
Good point re. laying them down too, need to get a cheap wine rack!
Yeah I've only had a few sips, but it tastes pretty good to me. Will probably open a not entirely full
bottle later.
I think it should be ~12%

Re: First time making wine (damsons)
Laying them down keeps the cork from drying out (and letting to much air in) and spoiling the wine.
