Getting rid of the oils from prior use requires a lot of soaking in hot soapy water and liberal applications of baking soda. & wine picks up flavours quite easily.
That's why I'm going to use my hand blender (Cuisinart Smart Stick from Costco). Since I haven't found any real use for it there won't be any flavors to be picked up by the wine. Besides, it's quieter and classier looking than the Margarita machine.
