Is there any reason why I couldn't put a wine in a corny keg?
I'm thinking summer BBQ party keg of wine in the fridge? We normally get through quite a few bottles if we have a party at the mother in laws so this could be good.

No reason whatsoever :thumb:

I've usually got a white and a pink in kegs and swop the ‘out’ disconnect from one to the other as the mood takes me. Purge any airspace with CO2. I pump mine up to 40psi for the first couple of days and then try to hold at 25psi for a week. When you dispense it gives up its gas more freely than any beer so I still keep it around 10-15psi.

If you wanted to keep it fairly flat, just purge the airspace and give it an initial 5psi then dispense at 2-3psi.
