Abstract
There is provided a fermentation apparatus that allows the separation of a wine, beer or other brewed or fermented beverage from its lees using a single container. The vessel can be used in wine making operation and is constructed so that the lees that settle out during fermentation may be mechanically trapped at the bottom of the vessel and the wine then removed, typically through a spigot, without contamination by the entrapped lees.
