I agree with the other reviewer in that the unit imparts a strange flavor to the wine after a day or so in the unit. We noted it as the "new car smell" when you purchase a new car. Not sure if the strange flavor will go away, nor how to get rid of it. Would love to recommend this for convenience and style .... however the intended use to save wine just doesn't work when the wine flavor and bouquet is tarnished.

Great Idea, But Bad After Taste

 
1.0

Pros

  • Attractive Design
  • Easy to Use

Cons

  • Imparts Plastic Taste

Best Uses

  • Home Bar

The Skybar is a great concept and it works very well on freshly opened bottles (i.e. if you want to serve three differents wines at their optimal temperature setting). Unfortunately (and it disappoints me greatly to write this) I have found that after about 24 hours, the plastic tubing that goes into the bottle of wine imparts a plastic aftertaste that has a significant impact on the wine's flavor - to the point where the wine is undrinkable for me. I don't think I have a hypersensitive palate, but I've done tests, and I can identify the "plastic" taste from the machine in blind tastings. Therefore, I cannot recommend this product. I wish they could devise a tubing mechanism that would not contaminate the wine.

Attractive and easy to use, but noisy

Pros

  • Easy to Use

Cons

  • Noisy

Best Uses

  • Home Bar

The Skybar is attractive, easy to use and a great conversation piece. The one downside that I've found in my first week of using the Skybar is that it produces a blowing, fanlike noise that is annoying in a quiet room.

We love this!!!

  • Home Bar

We love this system - my husband and I don't always drink the same wine, and this way we don't have to feel like we are wasting a bottle if we don't finish it! It is easy to have a glass of wine with dinner, and save the rest for future enjoyment! It looks great in our eating area, and has become quite a conversation piece!
