Get some aquarium air tubing or something similar, that's clean. If need be, soak in a tub of warm water with one cap full of bleach per gallon of water. Make sure it gets INSIDE the tubing too, for at least 15 minutes. Rinse real good afterward.
Put your original bottle on the counter and the new container on the floor or a chair that is lower than the counter. Stick one end of the tubing in the original bottle, keeping it above the sediment, usually about an inch or so from the bottom of the bottle. Take the other end and suck on it. Rinse your mouth with anti-septic mouthwash as a precaution or take some plastic warp or aluminum foil a couple of inches around the tube that your lips will touch. Make sure it's loose as you will need to pull it off the tubing quickly right before the flow starts. Right before the liquid reaches the end remove from mouth and place into the new bottle. That's the poor man's method.
You can buy a device that will start the suction instead from suppliers that carry wine/beer making supplies.
