Boots | Home » » Platypus Platy Preserve Wine Preserver, 800ml | | | | | | | Description: | | Whether you are a connoisseur, an enthusiast or a casual admirer of wine, one truth remains: the delicate taste profiles of wine change upon exposure to oxygen. That means wine is best enjoyed within a few hours of being opened. If not properly preserved, wine can go bad in as little as 2 to 8 hours. PlatyPreserve is the best way to protect the taste of an opened bottle of wine by completely eliminating the presence of oxygen. While alternative methods might have you pump air out of the bottle or inject gas into the bottle - PlatyPreserve has you transfer your un-finished wine into an air tight reservoir to truly protect the taste of your wine so it may be enjoyed several days or even weeks later. With PlatyPreserve, you can open a bottle of wine, if only to enjoy one glass. Or open several different bottles - such as a red and a white - with the flexibility to enjoy them at your leisure. | | | Features: | |
• Extends the life of your wine
• Minimizes oxygen exposure
• Collapsible container offers an easy, light-weight alternative to pack wine
• Select materials ensure superior leak protection and provide zero taste

Revolutionary Wine Platypus Storage Contraption!Jun 25, 2010
Hi-
Well as you can tell by the title...I LOVE this thing! I had used a "plain" Platypus for a few years in my travel bag which worked great...no smell no mess, just H2O for hydration.
I, like so many before me have vainly struggle to keep left-over wine from going bad. Forget the Vacuum pumps, the Argon gas, and all other methods. Gently fill and squeeze this bag to the top, turn cap to seal...then I put it in the fridge or freeze (which I know will sound silly or stupid to some). No O2, no oxidation...low temperature= slowing of chemical changes or microorganism growth.
This is super-great for hotel travel, place in a smallish cooler...then have a glass at night with your own snack or even with a room service sandwich. As you may know, most hotels charge and arm and two legs for just a small glass of marginal wine (this will hold about 1-4 fills of half a medium wine glass...but your "mileage may vary").
Remember, a small amount of red wine may be good for your health (remember SMALL AMOUNT) and this Platypus makes this possible with good wines ($5-50/ bottle). Get this in a 4-pack...it makes a great present as well. The color is superflous but the design is great...when filled it expands to sit upright light a wine bottle...for the fridge... or you can easying lay it flat in cooler or freezer...it will freeze like one of those stay cool blue bags...and you can used it to cool your cheese for travel!
Again....I love this Platypus!
Hope this helps!
Take care!

The sane way to carry wine on the trailApr 03, 2010
There's simply nothing like a glass (or two!) of wine for an attitude adjustment at the end of a long day of backpacking. Hauling wine in plastic bottles takes up way too much space in the pack. Safe from leaks, preserves the taste of wine, and portable. WE LOVE OUR PLATYPUS!
 It actually worksMar 30, 2010
I was skeptical of this very inexpensive wine preserver, but decided to purchase based on feedback from other Amazon users and the low price. I am now a believer too. I've used it twice so far. The first time, I stored a small amount for two days. The wine was drinkable. So while I don't think it had the same taste quality as it originally had, it was far superior to leaving it in the re-corked bottle. My second storage of wine was for one day and I was, again, very pleased that the wine actually tasted the same, if not better.
I would highly recommend this product for storage of one or two days.
This product WORKS!Dec 15, 2009
I've tried those preservation pumps that supposedly extract the air to keep the wine fresh. There's a nice satisfying POP when you open the bottle later, but the wine has still turned. I thought the only other option was expensive nitrogen systems. Then I say the Platy Preserve; it just WORKS. I put half a bottle of wine in it and then left town on business and promptly forgot about the wine in the fridge. A month later when I stumbled across it and opened it up, the wine was still fresh! A perfect stocking stuffer for wine-lovers.

it works and it doesn't leak at allOct 24, 2009
In short, it works and it doesn't leak at all. I haven't had the courage to put it into my suitcase yet when flying overseas. I called customer/technical support and they were wishy-washy on this issue.
SUGGESTION. Use it with a liquid soap/shampoo cap and then you can REALLY suck the air out of it after every use.
