For the person who has no time to put the cork back in the bottle ...
- dutchbrit 12y agoNo, air in the bottle after opening it still affects the wine, even if you put the cork back on. That's why they use argon.
- jsprogrammer 12y agoAnd who wants vendor lock-in with "proprietary argon gas capsules".
- pat2man 12y agoI assume they have a patent on it so it's unlikely that we will see any generic equivalent for a while.
- gyardley 12y agoMaybe, but I doubt it - machines using inert gas to preserve and pour wine have been around since Enomatic in the '70s. The only thing new here is the cheap price point.
- raverbashing 12y agoYeah, it only makes sense for bottles costing upwards of 100$
- sologoub 12y agoOr very limited vintages. I have a few bottles that were $35-50 when bought, but only had 150-300 cases made. No way to get another of that same kind and same year...
- mattmaroon 12y agoWhich makes the bottle now worth probably a few hundred at least.
- CHY872 12y agoProbably not. There are many small wine producers that will only produce a few hundred cases of wine each year. Despite being scarce, this wine won't be specifically valuable unless it's good or otherwise unique, because it's only a very small part of a very large market. The $35 wine will still cost $35. You won't be able to buy it any more, but there'll be little interest from others.
