Yup, you might like to siphon into a clean and sterilised dj first too so that you don't stir up all the sediment. Then hold your (clean) hand over the neck of the dj and shake quite vigorously for a couple of seconds, when you remove your hand you will hear the air escape kind of like when you open a pop bottle and there should be a good 'head' on the wine. Leave the dj to settle until the froth has gone and repeat the degassing until the froth produced by shaking dissipates quickly.
