For governmental purpose (and qualitative/oxidative) reasons Nitrogen must be used to push the wine. If you use carbon dioxide it can carbonate the wine, the ATF wouldn’t get the higher sparkling tax rate. The faucets and tapper must be food grade plastic, the acid in the wine corrodes regular beer equipment. I was working in Viginia (the mid eighties) when Taylor California Cellars (then owned by Seagrams) did the roll out on their Stainless Steel keg, other companies alos tried it. Eggman
