I had the nozzle on my bottling bucket crack and start trickling apfelwein onto my floor just as I got ready to hook up my racking cane today. I rushed the wine and bucket to a clean and sanitized bucket I had handy. I had to briskly dump the wine into the bucket to save the last 4.5 gallons of the 5 I started with.
The question is, will the considerable bit of sloshing involved in that have let enough oxygen into the wine to cause trouble? It seems like the drill powered whisk I used to degas would have added more air than the dumping from one bucket to the other.
Thoughts?
