Hi,

I am the only wine drinker in my home and therefore rarly have use for
a whole bottle of wine. I usually am pouring the left overs down the
drain a couple of days later. I've been looking at the various wine
preservation systems.

Has anyone tried the Pek Supremo system? Does it work well? Does the
Argon gas effect the taste?

Any help would be greatly appreciated .

Thanks
Stephen

Have not tried it. My main way to preserve a part of a bottle is to have a
split handy. As soon as I open the bottle I decant half into the split and
put a cork in it and drink the rest. Then I drink the split in the next
week or two. I use those short mushroom corks they use in tasting rooms for
the split.

I'VE USED THE CANS OF SPRAY GAS.....DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS WHAT YOU'RE
TALKING ABOUT,BUT IF IT IS,THEY DON'T SEEM TO IMPART ANYTHING TO THE
TASTE OF THE WINE,JUST PUT A LIGHT SHOT INTO THE BOTTLE AND PUT A
TASTERS CORK IN IT TO PREVENT OXIDATION.WORKS ON CARBOYS WITH EXCESS
HEAD SPACE ALSO,BUT THE CANS ARE PRICEY.

Never used it for open bottles, but have used inert gas to fill
headspace on carboys. One of those cans (about quart size) last me at
least 3 years of winemaking.

FWIW, Cook's Illustrated magazine just did a comaprison of various
products to preserve half-used wine bottles. They concluded that none
are as good as one would want, but they recommended vac-u-vins as the
most successful at minimizing aging of open bottles. Never used one
myself, so I can't personally recommend it, but there you go.

I like the 375 bottle and T-cork idea. May have to consider that
myself.

You are missing the glorious feeling that comes from finishing it off
the next morning, before work. ;-)

Argon is totally inert, it does zilch. Good luck!

You can use it a number of ways in cooking, even to the point of pouring
it into a pot to boil potatoes. That's gotta be better than pouring it
down the drain.

We use the Vacuvin all the time for opened bottles. Have kept an open
bottle of port under Vacuvin cork for a couple of months. Opened
periodically for a small glass of porto, then re-sealed. It works well
I think.

Some people call it poor vision. You can only boost the font size so
high....
