BDU Fatigues *Genuine Military Grade | Home » » Platypus Platy Preserve Wine Preserver, 800ml (4 pack) | | | | | | | 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
• Air tight reservoir to truly protect the taste
• Collapsible container offers an easy, light-weight alternative to pack
• Select materials ensure superior leak protection and provide zero taste transfer

GreatnessAug 03, 2010
Well I have to say that these things work great. I took them backpacking and it made my pack a lot lighter, and my wine held up for days. I took 3 of the wine preservers, one I had opened two days before the trip, and all of them were in great condition when I drank them. I fully support anyone who wants to purchase these wine preservers.

They work fine. They allow me to open a large (1.5) and keep it fresh for days.

I had ordered the multiple package and have shared with friends. These are just fantastic. I do believe I need to order another multiple pack just so I have plenty for me too!!

great productNov 26, 2009
I use mine almost every day. I am surprised that the bag is still holding up well, I have used it a lot. It keeps the wine fresh for a week or two depending on how much you open it and how good of a job you do of getting all the air out. If you pour a bottle of wine in it and get all the air out and you don't open it then I think the wine will be totally good for 2 weeks, maybe more. I told the company that makes the Platypus that they should put a one way valve on top of it instead of the screw cap. To close it up you need to put the cap on partially so that air can be squeezed out of the bag but, don't let the cap be too loose. Then squeeze the air out, when you get a little wine coming out of the top, tighten the cap the rest of the way. It takes a little practice to get good at it but you can do it unless you're not good at doing things. Do it over the sink because you will probably spill a little.

Affordable, effective and easy-to-use wine preserverApr 22, 2009
The platypreserve works as well as it says it does and is a very convenient and economical way to preserve and transport wine.
It works much better than the vacumn pump systems and is much cheaper to buy, operate and maintain than the expensive electronic wine lockers systems or even the argon gas system.
Cons:
* You have to be somewhat physically capable of squeezing the platybag while simultaneously screwing the cap on without shooting wine all over yourself.
* It's not the classiest way to serve wine. But if you've got company, it's most likely that you would open a new bottle anyways.
* The platy-bags resemble detergent/shampoo refills in Europe.
* Some people cannot mentally accept wine out of a bag.
* Bag is not opaque to prevent light detriorating the wine.
Pros:
* Preserves wine better than all other affordable systems.
* Can be used as a safe and lightweight way to bring wine while traveling, hiking.
* Space-saving design excellent for small fridges where a normal bottle would not fit. (Can be safely stored on its side)
There is no plastic taste or scent and the wine seems to be perfectly preserved for a week. (Haven't tested it for longer). As the platybag is not opaque, keeping it in a cool dark place would further prevent sunlight from deteriorating the wine.
Recommended for: singles living alone, couples who like to drink different wines, travelers, spacesavers, picnicers.
