The 8 Best Wine bung Airlocks (2023 reviews)

Vintage shop wine bung airlock is the epitome of what a great airlock should be. These Airlocks Work Great for Fermenting Vegetables. It fits the opening on the jug. The three piece airlocks are easier to clean and simpler to fill, and require less frequent refills due to the larger volume. It is allows for gases to escape without external agents (fruit flies/gnats) to reach the must. It does not make your drink carbonated.

For those of you not very familiar with Airlocks, this is a device that is needed when brewing things like beer, wine, meads, etc. These make good stocking stuffers for home brewers, as having extras on hand means you can toss one out if it breaks or gets too gunked up for your liking, and they're inexpensive.

Why We Like This:

Keeps oxygen, bacteria, and bugs out of your brew while letting co2 escape
You will be able to clearly see when the gasses stop passing through
Purpose of use is great used in fermented foods

Best For canning jar: Fastrack Wine bung Airlock

Buy on Amazon

The fastrack wine bung airlock's material feels more premium than its price would suggest. These are great for making apple cider. The rubber stopper is about 3 cm/1-1/4 inch in diameter and fits a standard glass gallon jug. It is tapered for a better seal holding the airlock securely in place. If you use the jugs for the water bubblers, this fits perfectly into the lid hole on those. It is accessible and owns the playing field.

The airlock is plastic. It works well and it is very easy to tell when the bubbles are bubbles. It is a curved lip on the bung to stop it from accidentally sliding into the fermenter.

Why We Like This:

Inch in diameter and fits a standard glass gallon jug
Great fit for 5 and 6 gallon carboys
A standard for home fermenting and wine making

Best For large bung openings: Fastrack Rubber Stopper

Buy on Amazon

Not everyone likes to purchase airlock for their regular usage, but the fastrack rubber stopper would be an anomoly. These carboy bungs work very well in a glass carboy. It fits many (but not all) apple juice containers directly. The stoppers fit snug on 1 gallon carboys. The plug is 1 1/8 at base to about 1 1/2 at top (inches) to big to fit into a 4Ltr Carlo bottle when they push them selves out. It is perfect for fermenting grape juice in the bottle, and works exactly as needed.

These are nice and solid. It is tapered for a better seal holding the airlock securely in place.

Why We Like This:

Fits from small jugs to big jugs, great construction sturdy
Works well and keeps the oxygen out
Fit two different sized glass carboys

Best For Beer: Fermtech Gallon carboy

Buy on Amazon

Not everyone likes to purchase airlock for their daily purpose, but the fermtech gallon carboy would be an anomoly. These are used to allow the gasses produced by yeast fermenting to exscape the fermenting bottle/jug while the water in the airlock prevents wild yeast from entering the bottle/jug. It fits (well) most one gallon jugs, including carlo rossi, a plastic milk jug (filled with juice), or a standard glass one gallon fruit juice. The stoppers do smell of rubber, strongly.

They fit 1 gallon jugs perfectly. It is easy to clean as others.

Why We Like This:

Makes it so much easier not to keep opening the top every few hours
Great airlock bubblers with rubber stoppers
Keeping the wild yeast from turning your brew into rotten eggs

Best For Mason jar: Zazolyne Wine bung Airlock

Buy on Amazon

Next on the list, we've got yet another airlock that manages to win our hearts. It's the zazolyne wine bung airlock and it's widely considered as airlock that has the most suitable features. This new type of dust cap has a zigzag design on the surface and will not slide when opened. There are 3 buckles inside, press it down gently, you can close it with a snap, pull it up and rotate to open it. The bung plugs work great on 1 gallon and 1 1/2 gallon wine jugs jugs. The lid does not need to be drilled as there is a gap around it, which allows the gas to escape.

The stoppers are very flexible and fit both 1Gal and 4L jugs. The wine is fermenting perfectly and no air is getting back in the jar. It works for intended use and also works well for ginger bug.

Pre drilled screw on caps are better
