Wine and Nitrogen Question

[Retrofit]

Hey guys,

Long time brewer, first time wine guy. I'll try to keep this short:

If I had a nitrogen system, can I keg wine without carbonating it?

My family wants more wine and less beer, so I said I would start making wine. I like to bottle gifts, but keg everything else. So having never made wine, is there something I'm not considering? If I could keg wine and just bottle holiday gifts, my life would be easier.

I don't own a nitrogen system, but a yes would seal the deal on buying a set up.

Any advice is appreciated.

I know that folks keg wine. What I don't know is if the preferred gas is nitrogen or argon. I think it might be argon but I don't know why nitrogen wouldn't work.

Nitrogen is perfect but I'm sure argon is equally as good.

Nitrogen is actually better than argon. Less gas will go into solution.

Well thanks guys. Just when I thought I had everything a brewer needs, I can justify to my wife, 'one more' thing. :rockin:

I have a Blichmann Beer Gun, I imagine I could use this to fill the occasional bottle for holiday give aways?

Thanks again!
