Preservation of Still Wines
(also see preserving sparkling wines & Champagnes)
Wine begins to oxidise as soon as the cork is removed.
By removing the oxygen to a precisely controlled level Le Verre de Vin technology effectively preserves wine without any risk to it’s subtle structure.
Still wines preservation takes just 2 to 5 seconds (depending upon the amount of wine remaining) during which time a precisely controlled vacuum is created within the bottle. Precise control of the vacuum level is essential to ensure that the maximum period of preservation is achieved without any damage to the subtle structure of the wine. If insufficient air is removed from the bottle the wine will continue to oxidise, by removing just too much air the negative pressure will draw the delicate esters and phenols from the wine, detrimentally affecting the bouquet and ‘deadening’ the taste.

It’s easy to use too

Having dispensed a glass of wine, firmly push the stopper into the top of the bottle. You are now ready to re-seal the bottle.
Locate the top of the stopper into the vacuum nozzle - this is the ‘open-ended’ nozzle. (Le Verre de Vin Classic BC02 pictured)
Push the bottle gently upward.
The amber light will illuminate indicating that the re-sealing process is operating correctly.
Hold the bottle in position until the green light illuminates. The re-sealing process is now complete and Le Verre de Vin will shut down automatically.
