In a counterpressure filling device (G), for filling bottles (F) with impregnated beverages (B) from a filling connection (8) which cooperates with closing element (V) and a sealing arrangement (11) for the bottle mouth (2) to the closing element (V), is a full-stream cone (12) for creating a full stream (ST) of the impregnated beverage which is directed through the bottleneck (1) down to the bottom (3) of the bottle without coming in contact with the same, the cross section of said full stream corresponding to a predetermined amount of the inside cross section of the bottleneck and bordering together with the bottleneck a return gas path (W) and a fluid channel (17) at least for return gas (E) opens outside the filling connection and inside the sealing arrangement. During filling, a free full stream (ST) is formed from the impregnated beverage and is directed through the bottleneck (1) down to the bottom (3) of the bottle without coming in contact with the same, while the return gas (E) is also removed outside of the filling connection (8) besides being removed between the full stream and the bottleneck.
