How to remove the valve from a box wine bag.

DIY tool to help remove the valve from boxed wine bags, for cleaning and re-using the bags.

Every day is a school day. I've been wondering how to remove these wine bag valves for years and now I know. Thank you.

I made the tool out of a piece of 1/4" paneling. It's been a lifesaver for festivals at which glass is prohibited. It's a fantastic idea for vodka, because it's self-sterilizing and self-cleaning! Thanks for the idea, George!

Made a tool like yours George out of a piece of plastic chopping board. I found warming the tap a little made all the difference too. The 'POP' the tap was off !
So just cleaned 3 bags, and left some sterilizing fluid in a thin layer. Now waiting for the latest batch of home-brew beer to ferment 🙂
Cheers

Extra credit for the home brewer thinking outside the box wine! How did it work out?

Thanks for the great idea!
I dry my bags be putting a tube from an aquarium air pump in the bag, mine dry in 4 to 6 hours.

The inside will dry out if you put it in the refrigerator, with the valve out.

I use a wide flat blade (common) screwdriver. Half a turn, the plug pops up and then just pull and it comes out.

I tried a butter knife tonight, I have 4 boxes saved for this and I knew I could find something on YT to help. Where do I put the screwdriver in? Could you guide me please. Thank you

@@rgh3538 Same result with a screw driver. Plan to refill with a 1.5L Kirkland Chardonnay for $8.
