A method of filling a beverage bag. The beverage bag is part of a beverage container that also includes a rigid container housing supporting a dispensing spout of the beverage bag, the dispensing spout forming a dispensing passage from an interior of the beverage bag to an exterior of the beverage container for dispensing a content of the beverage bag. The method includes running a siphoning line from a beverage reservoir to the beverage bag, removing the dispensing tap, extending a siphon line outlet portion of the siphoning line into the beverage bag through the dispensing passage, sealing the dispensing spout around the siphon line outlet portion to prevent pressure release through the dispensing spout around the siphon line outlet portion, and siphoning the beverage from the beverage reservoir into the beverage bag to expand the beverage bag to fill inner dimensions of the rigid container housing.

A removal system (1) with an extraction head (2) that may be placed onto an opening of a bottle (3)), wherein the extraction head (2) has a closing means for closing the opening of the bottle (3). In the extraction head (2), a tube (5) is mounted such that when the extraction head (2) is placed onto the opening, the tube (5) projects into the bottle (3) and fluid (4) may be removed from the bottle (3) via the tube (5). An actuation mechanism is provided, by means of which the mounting of the tube (5) in the extraction head (2) may be released.

A siphon priming device that may be releasably and sealingly connected with a first fluid container and usable to cause a liquid to be transferred from the first container into a second fluid container. Using the properties of the first container one may gently squeeze the container to initiate the siphon then remove the pressure and the siphon continues. The first container may comprise a liquid fuel can and the second container may comprise a fuel tank of a motorized vehicle, e.g., boat, car, ATV, cart, plane, motorcycle, etc. In use, the siphon priming device enables simple, rapid, and safe transfer of liquid fuel from a fuel can into a motorized vehicle.

A system and method for dispensing beverage from a container, such as wine from a wine bottle. An identification element may be secured to a beverage container and include a tag and optically readable code that uniquely identify the container. A dispenser may dispense beverage from a container, and be able to read the tag of the identification element. Information regarding characteristics of beverage in the beverage container may be associated with a corresponding identification element and include a brand, type, vintage or volume of beverage in the container.

A system for dispensing fluid. The system includes a fluid cartridge having a fluid outlet spout, a carbonated fluid outlet, a still water outlet, and a non-contact drop sensor for detecting a number of drops dispensed from the fluid outlet spout. The fluid outlet spout, the carbonated fluid outlet, and the still water outlet are configured to dispense fluid into a beverage vessel.

A system for carbonating fluid is provided comprising a gas supply and a fluid vessel for carbonating fluid, the fluid vessel having at least one internal surface for obstructing a return path of the gas to an upper surface of the fluid after injection. A retainer retains the fluid vessel relative to the gas supply and a gas injector injects gas from the gas supply into the fluid vessel. During use, the gas injector injects gas below a fluid level within the fluid vessel.

A removable reservoir water dispensing system which includes a water dispenser body with a built-in water reservoir and a coupling for connecting a removable water reservoir to the built-in reservoir. A drainage pipe, through which water is drained from the built-in reservoir, extends through a bottom of the built-in reservoir. The drainage pipe has a first end and a second end. The second end is connected to a dispensing faucet on the water dispenser body. The first end extends vertically into the built-in water reservoir for at least one third of a height of the built-in water reservoir. Water in the built-in water reservoir, positioned below the first end of the drainage pipe, is unable to pass through the drainage pipe to the dispensing faucet and is always resident in the built-in water reservoir at a pre-set dispensing temperature.
