Disgorging by hand before the machinery arrived - 5 minutes per bottle

Owner and winemaker John Hemmant of Chet Valley Vineyard demonstrates how he used to disgorge all his bottles individually and mostly at the dead of night so that the wine remained cool in order to reduce the amount of wastage. Bridget is so happy that the new disgorging machine enables John to undertake this task during the day and takes a fraction of the time. It still needs to be operated by himself.
