12. Why does my wine taste or smell bad?
If your WineKeeper unit has been working correctly for some time, but now you are noticing a change in
the wine, the problem is most likely due to poor maintenance and / or improper use. See: “Cleaning Your
WineKeeper” and “Set up Instructions.”
13. Why is my wine not pouring from one or more of my faucets?
If all of the faucets / stoppers appear to be not working at all, look at these problem areas:
• Nitrogen cylinder out of gas
• Nitrogen supply tube not connected to the regulator
• Nitrogen supply tube kinked or pinched
• All white plastic nitrogen pinch clamps are closed
• Stopper assemblies not tightened into neck of each bottle
• Nitrogen cylinder not opened
• Regulator failure
If one or two faucets/stoppers don't work, look at these problem areas:
• Stopper assemblies not tightened into neck of the wine bottle
• White plastic nitrogen pinch clamp closed
• Debris in bottom of stainless steel wine pick-up tube
• Kink or hole in supply line to stopper assembly
14. Why is wine dripping from my faucet?
Almost all cases of wine dripping from the faucet are caused from lack of cleaning, debris in the faucet, or
the bonnet is cross-threaded and not screwed down completely. Disassemble the faucet and clean using
warm water or Wine Line Cleaner. Check to make sure that the seat cup has no small cuts or tears.
Reassemble the faucet, making sure that the bonnet is not cross-threaded.
