Product Description
As Featured on CHOW.com Voted Best Wine Preservation System Your opened wine's blanket of protection. Endorsed by some of the country's best-known wine critics, this system uses 100% inert gas (non-toxic) to remove all of the oxygen from your opened bottle. Preserve your wine's freshness in 4 easy steps. 1) Insert included tube securely into nozzle with a twisting motion. 2) Place the tip of the tube into the neck of the bottle midway down and against the glass. 3) Have cork or stopper ready on top of bottle resting against the tube. 4) Spray for 1/2 of a second and then 4 shorter bursts, both quickly pull the tube out and insert cork or stopper into the bottle. An amazing 120-plus uses in 1 can. Remember in order to keep your wine fresh, you have to seal your wine bottles with a stopper, such as our All Purpose Wine Stoppers (sold separately)

Best Wine Preservation Solution IMO May 2, 2008
I've been drinking and saving partial bottles of wine for years with this stuff. I've played with those wine vacuum pumps in the store, and I can tell you from experience using vacuum bells in engineering labs, that there is no way those little pumps and seals could remove enough atmosphere to make a substantial impact in lowering wine oxidation.

As for the amount of gas in the bottles, I usually purchase Private Preserve by the case, in an unopened box, and I've never had an issue. I can usually get at about 100 uses from a can. I think the instructions on the back are over-simplified; when the bottle is brand new and the pressure is high, you have to cut the amount of spraying time at least in half, if not more. Then gradually increase the amount of time as the pressure decreases. Remember; only the surface area of the exposed wine needs to be covered, which is pretty small, and not the entire remaining empty volume.

Common Sense Math January 19, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This item contains inert gas which is heavier than oxygen.
It creates a layer on top of the wine which prevents oxidation.
You do not need to fill the bottle with the inert gas to prevent oxidation.
Wine worth saving costs at least $15 a bottle.

Assume it saves a half a bottle each time it is used. That is $7+ per use saved.

If you use good sense and spray only what is necessary you can get many uses out of a bottle.

Worst case, say it has 20 uses in it, that is 50 cents per use. Is there any more that needs to be said?

No Gas! December 30, 2007
Bought this on the advice of an expert. However, only about 2-3 seconds of gas - hardly the 120 uses. Maybe a pattern is emerging?

Better than the vacu products November 20, 2007
Great product. I drink a bottle a week, so must store at room temp for several days. A couple squirts each time, and the can lasts for months and months. Very good product for the money. The wine preservation seems to last over twice as long as the vacu products, which I have used extensively until I tried this.

Great Stuff. Better than any alternative I've found February 14, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful

I've tried the vacuum pump things and they are about as good at preserving wine as they are at increasing "size." Perhaps it works for a very short time, but it doesn't last.

This stuff lasts. I've left a bottle of red for over a week and it was still great. In fact, with some young wines I find they are better after opening, having one glass, then closing with Private Preserve and enjoying the rest the next day.

I'm not sure of the 120+ uses, but I'm very happy with the value at $10/btl.
