Many times we come to a situation where our favorite bottle of wine was not consumed entirely or accidentally discovering an exquisite bottle of wine that we wish to preserve after opening to be consumed at a later time but have no choice but to either try to re-cork it or pouring it into a decanter. Both these options will not be able to preserve the exposed liquid for more than a day or two. A better option is wine preservation cabinets which can help preserver wine in a more controlled way.

After decades of inventions and innovations to wine preservation techniques, finally these techniques are applied into easy to use and affordable mechanisms that are available almost everywhere.
The most basic wine preservation mechanism is the bottle stopper. These stoppers come in a variety of designs and price range. These stoppers are designed to fit most bottles and are commonly made out of stainless steel. Some stoppers are also designed to have the traditional cork attached to a stainless steel handler. My favorite wine bottle stopper is a stainless steel stopper that features an expanding rubber ring that with a twist of the knob ensures a secure seal on any opened wine bottle.

 

Moving on to re-sealing your opened wine bottle, that with proper sealing can preserve your wine up to a year. A basic sealing system can is available in any wine merchants and along the alcohol beverages aisle in most supermarkets. This system is commonly referred to as a ‘wine saver’. It functions by applying a vacuum seal to opened bottles of wine to prevent oxidation; it features a pump and a reusable stopper that is designed to maximize the vacuum seal. The bottle can be opened and resealed as many times as you like.

The latest invention for wine preservation in the market today is by injecting inert gas directly into the bottle that pushes the oxygen out and blanketing the liquid against oxidization. This concept was brought to the consumer market from the same techniques used by modern wineries, when fermentation is finished, the wineries uses nitrogen, carbon dioxide or argon to preserve the wines. The consumer product is packaged into pressurized bottle that lets you pump a small amount of nitrogen or argon gas according to instructions into the opened bottle and sealing it immediately with a stopper or reusable cork.

Finally we come to the modern art of wine dispensing similar to the system used by fine restaurants and top hotels to serve wines by the glass. This system is now made available to individual home users that will allow you to extend the life of your favorite bottles. This system generally consists of a high quality container that employs the proven nitrogen gas preservation technology. Sizes of these units vary according to needs. They range from single bottle units to larger commercial versions that can store and dispense up to 24 bottles at one time. Most standard units come with bottle stopper dispensers and valve, a regulator and a disposable gas canister.
Not only does this system preserves and dispense your favorite wines perfectly, it’s also a great showpiece for your kitchen or bar.
