Winekeeper Wine Preservation System

Since my wife rarely drinks, in the past I was often reluctant to open a bottle--even though I enjoy drinking wine. That's because, until now, opened bottles never maintained their flavor past the first day or so, no matter what I tried. Consequently, I'd often end up pouring out half of the bottle because I didn't like what had happened to the taste. But, since I got this system a week ago, I've been enjoying a glass every night with my dinner and the flavor has been great every time. Tonight will be the 5th day on the current bottle and I just tasted a little--it's as good (or better) to me today than any other method I've tried (refrigeration, vacuum pump, spray) is on the 2nd day. If I was going to be really critical, I'd say that it still never tastes quite as good to me as it does within the 1st hour of opening the bottle. But it's still very good and Day 4 tastes the same as Day 2; Day 5 is not quite as good as Day 4, but it's still totally drinkable and still tastes good to me. I'm really liking this system. Especially because I can now have a great-tasting glass of wine every day without wasting any. It might take just a little bit of getting used to (for the not-so-technical person), but it's really fairly easy to use.

The product is excellent. Ive owned one myself for over a year. This one was a gift. Both are super.

Some days my wife and I don't want to have the same wine, or we do and a whole bottle is too much, so what is a wine drinker to do? I've tried putting half of the wine in a bottle into a 375mL bottle, I've tried Private Preserve spray, and I've tried vacuum tops. Winekeeper is the first system I've tried that actually does what it says - several days later the wine tastes just like it came from a freshly opened bottle. If you are spending any significant amount of money on your wine, add up how much money is wasted when a good bottle goes unfinished and this product suddenly looks affordable. Note: I took the extension tube off the dispenser because I just take the spray top off and pour the wine into a glass when I retrieve the bottle from storage and it's less than half full.

I have been drinking wine with my meals for about 45 years. I do not like or drink the 14% - 15% red wines from California, Spain, Rhone etc. Those wines are so high in alcohol that it must be considered a preservative. I prefer the classic old world style of Medoc, Piedmont or Tuscany. Those wines will not keep and be decent the second day if you allow any air to enter the bottle. The vacuum pumps are a waste of time. Forget about the looks of the Winekeeper. It is completely beside the point. The device works and is incredibly cheap for what it does. I pull the cork on a nice Bordeaux (say $15) immediately insert the stopper, hook up the nitrogen bottle, dispense 1/3 of the bottle into a decanter, wait 1/2 hour and have perfect Bordeaux with my dinner. I do the same the next night. The third night I don't use the nitrogen. The wine keeps for 3-4 days and I am getting about 15 bottles + useage for each nitrogen bottle. Fabulous product for someone who wants to drink good wine 6-8 oz at a time.

I will never wait again for friends coming home to open a good wine bottle, with Winekeeper the wine will be in the same conditions for 4 o 5 days after opening. The only thing I don´t like: The nitrogen bottle will be empty with 10 or 12 bottles.
