I've heard that there are special gizmos which can be used to seal a
bottle of sparkling wine during the in-bottle fermentation and which
have some sort of lock to make expelling the lees easier than the old
methods. I searched several wine making supply web sites and found
nothing; does anyone have a name or link to such an item?

Thanks,

Paul
