I gave my Malbec another taste today and there's still a little tingle on the tongue. That can only mean there is still CO2 suspended in the wine. I recently saw a video on YouTube on how to degas wine with a simple wine preserver pump. You can check it out here.
It's $10 for the pump and $1 for the new bung, which is comparable to the $23 drill-mounted stirring spoons. Plus, the pump works an a lot better as there is no chance of introducing unwanted oxygen into the wine, causing additional oxidation. I went ahead and ordered the pump and the bung, so I can degas for 2 days then go ahead and bottle. They should arrive later this week.
