The carbon dioxide gas cylinder is connected to the upper gas injection hole and the lower gas injection hole on the upper and lower sides of the tank body through a pipeline.

[0009] Preferably, the diameter-height ratio of the tank body is 1:1.

[0010] Preferably, a wine outlet is arranged on the front of the bottom of the tank body.

[0011] Preferably, a bottom manhole is arranged on the bottom of the tank body.

[0012] Preferably, a supporting leg is fixed to the bottom of the tank body, and a universal wheel is fixed to the bottom of the supporting leg.
