Oenophilia Private Preserve Wine Preserver

First to recommend

Description

I love wine but I don't drink it in huge quantities (maybe a glass or two max/day). So my big problem is how to keep my wine from turning before I finish the bottle. Best way I have found is private preserve wine preserver which injects a layer of inert gas (mostly nitrogen, I think) into the open wine bottle so that no new oxygen can get in to oxidize the remaining wine.

Pretty ingenious and effective solution to the problem. Totally works and props to whomever thought of it.

Weird thing about the spray can is it feels totally empty even though it is full.

Fred Water

18 people recommended this item

Description

The legendary Fred! He's mainly available in urban centers and that's because he caters to a certain crowd. I do have to hand it to the company, their devotion to a unique idea is pretty cool: the name, an entire webzine dedicated to the lifestyle (fredspot.com), updates on FaceBook, MySpace, Twitter - you name it.

Move aside though, water lover coming through. Fred is a very low mineral spring water. There's not much in it. It's very low-key mostly, with about a neutral pH. This makes it a very smooth sip for most.

Maybe it's my over-sensitive palate but I find the scarcity of minerals overall highlights the ones that are there in higher concentrations. I taste either Magnesium or Calcium, which gives it a slightly metallic after-feel. Again, you may not notice this at all.

Bottom line: Smooth sipping, very neutral and low-key but in a good way (unlike the chemically proportioned Poland Spring). Aquaphiles may taste some salts (Mg or Ca). Very cool flask shaped bottle.

CdP is a beautiful town/area and produces consistently great wines. Clos des Papes is a stand-out in a high-quality crowd. The best way to get this wine is to go to Provence yourself and buy it! (via Todd)

I'm not an expert, but this seems to help the wine last a bit longer. It was also recommended to me by a bartender.
