Draw a clean taste or hydrometer sample from any carboy without oxygen exposure — this 3-piece wine thief is simple, practical, and sanitary.
This 3-piece plastic wine thief allows you to extract a small sample of wine from a carboy or fermenter for tasting or hydrometer testing without contaminating the batch. The tube-and-valve design captures wine through capillary action — cover the top with your thumb to hold the sample, then release to pour into a test jar or glass. Lightweight, durable, and easy to sanitize.
- 3-piece design: tube, filler, cap
- Capillary fill — no pump required
- Food-grade plastic
- Easy to sanitize and reassemble
Winemaker's Tip: Draw your sample slowly and steadily — quick pulls can suck up fine sediment from below the lees line and give a cloudy sample that misrepresents your wine's clarity.
Pair with a Triple-Scale Hydrometer and Hydrometer Test Jar.
