Vat chain. Used to clean must and sediment from fermenting tanks & wine vats. 62” L  C. 1900. 

Hand-blown glass pipette, nicely stylized with a handle. 19” L. Circa 1910 - 1930. Used in wine barrel sampling.

This clear-heart redwood tool is used in the process of making champagne. “Riddling” was invented in 1822 in France. After a first fermentation of champagne to be, the temporarily capped bottles are placed into a wooden board system with holes to allow for a 45-degree bottle resting angle during the second fermentation.
