- the autonomous thermoregulation device ensures a homogeneous wine temperature independent of the ambient temperature of the winery or cellar.
- said autonomous thermoregulation device comprises a wine temperature measuring probe and a heat exchanger connected to an array of pipes 11 disposed over the entire outer periphery of the body 21 of the outer enclosure 2, said heating pipes 11 or cooling by conduction said external enclosure 2 and thus also the inner enclosure 5 and the wine due to the contact between the inner and outer enclosures 5 and 2.
- the latter comprises an insulating layer 1 between said pipes 11 and the planks 4 facing.
- the automatic winemaking system also comprises a stirring device and a lees extraction device, not shown.
- the stirring device which makes it possible to homogenize the wine contained in the inner chamber 5, comprises a rotation shaft connected to an actuator and a stirrer integral with said rotation shaft, the latter preferably passing through the respective second orifices 532. rear walls 22,53 of the external and internal speakers 2 5.
- the lees extraction device which makes it possible to extract the lees collected at the lower part of said inner chamber 5 from the inner enclosure 5, comprises a hopper-shaped collector and an extraction screw set in motion. by an actuator and whose rotation causes the lees towards the outside of the inner enclosure 5, preferably through the respective third orifices 533 of the rear walls 22, 53 of the external and internal enclosures 5 and 5.
- the container 1 retains all the advantages of aging in wooden casks, (woody flavors, oxygen supply), while controlling oxygenation and ensuring a homogeneous and stable temperature to the wine throughout the breeding. Similarly, the container 1 optimizes the starting conditions and maintains the malolactic fermentation whatever the temperature of the cellar or cellar.
- the present invention also relates to a method for cleaning and sterilizing the container 1 according to the invention for empty storage.
- Said cleaning and sterilization process comprises at least preferably the following steps:
- the first two steps require opening the inner chamber 5 and the brushing and cleaning of the front wall 52 and the body assembly 51 and rear wall 53 separately, while the third stage is internal chamber 5 closed, and the steam generator or ultraviolet radiation -violets is introduced by the drain 521 of the front wall 52.
- the container 1 according to the invention is particularly suitable for raising and storing wine.
- this container 1 may also apply to any other liquid such as whiskey for example.
