My name is Shashi. I am a winemaker and vineyards owner. I know factory automation instruments through the winemaking machines and bottling machines at my winery. I am completely new to Arduino. I hope to learn, find some help here to develop a few hobby projects.
1. I want to rotate 3kg Bottle with 8-12cm Diameter continuously or in 360 deg and reverse. Bottle rotation is vertical or at 60 degrees. I want to control the servo using wifi
2. I want to log remote sensors data using arduino and wireless communication

Welcome to the forum.
Interesting project you have in mind, I'm looking forward to your introducing them in more detail as projects later.
You should find lots of helpful people here.
Anything seems possible when you don't know what you're talking about.

Hi Shashi,
welcome to the forum.
Before you get stuck into Arduino, which is my interest, have a look at the ESP 32 architecture, as it comes shrink wrapped with wifi and blue tooth capabilities plus others useful features. There are also a number of 'how to' example sketches and videos you can explore via this forum to base your projects on, eg wifi, blue tooth etc.
You are still able to use the Arduino IDE to program these boards using Arduino C++.
Enjoy the learning.

As @ronbentley1 says the ESP family is also a good choice besides Arduino. Given what you want to do it's not a lot different other than the ESP has WiFi builtin, also cheaper. I take it you are making some sparkling wine and want to automate the remuage. It's been a while, remind me, is the turn done slowly, or do you want to give it a little flick to stir up the sediment so it can settle further down the neck. The reason I ask is depending on the motion, the motors needed may be different I suspect. I stopped making wine several decades ago, but I only did it as a hobby. Good luck.
