One of the advantages of the AIO pump is that it is a vacuum pump. The wine never touches the pump.I use the AIO pump to rack into a carboy on the floor, and then bottle from there. That gives the wine a final degassing, and racks off any sediment before bottling. Usually I use a carboy larger than the one used for bulk aging (if available), so that there is plenty of room to mix in any pre-bottling additions. In the rare instances in which I want to rack into a bucket before bottling, I use my old gravity siphon.Either way, I never need to lift or carry a full carboy.
