Looks pretty cool, but isn't cork on the way out? Will it work with a screw top as well?

  Cork only. Read how it works and you'll see that it can't work with a screw top. You can use Private Preserve with screw tops.

    Do you know how private preserve compares to just pumping the air out, which is what I currently do?

      My feeling is that PP works better. I think this because the gas displaces all the oxygen, where pumping the air out only removes some of it. Best idea is to try a can for yourself.

  The cork should be on its way out, but if it is, it will be really slow. The better technologies (screw tops, bag in a box) are associated with cheap wines. It will be a long time before any substantial number of $20+ wines use them as a result. The wine makers would quite rather 10% of their product go bad and have to be refunded than have it be thought of as Franzia. (I have seen a lot more synthetic corks popping up, and this product might work with those.) It's the same with beer and cans.

    Depends where you live. Here in Australia twist top is king. Most bottles you buy that are <$40 from 2011 onwards are twist tops (excluding carbonated, people like to pop the cork even if it's a synthetic one). In recent trips to the US I've noticed that it isn't as popular. People there seem to think twist top is cheap or tacky.
