Instructions - Explanations - FAQ for Preserving & Storing Wine Using Private Preserve 

When Scott Farmer realized that over time some of the world’s great wines where being lost to oxidation and consumers were the one’s losing out, with the objective of assisting consumers and restaurateurs with preserving opened bottles of wine he first developed the idea of PRIVATE PRESERVE . As PRIVATE PRESERVE has continued to grow, Scott has continued his endeavors in assisting customers. With careful and meticulous research, he has found that Private Preserve is well suited to the preservation of wine, port, sherry, single malts, single batch bourbons, old Cognac, sake, ultra-fine tequila, and in the kitchen, fine cooking oils and vinegars.   Instructions for Use   1. Use each time you pour & store. 2. Put the tip of the extension tube inside the neck of the bottle against the glass. Tube use insures maximum protection. 3. Spray one long (1 sec.) and 4 short bursts into 750ml bottle. Larger bottles require additional sprays—add one long spray for each larger size. 4. Recork immediately & store upright.

Private preserve allows the safe preservation of an opened bottle of wine using an inert gas mixture.

Inert Gas Wine Preserver

Private Preserve is an exciting break through in preserving Wine, Port, Sherry, Cognac or Single Malt Whisky. Tests in California have shown that Private Preserve can keep wine fresh for a full year without any deterioration in bouquet or oxidation which is common with vacuum systems. Each canister of Private Preserve contains 600 separate sprays which can be used to preserve up to 100 bottles.

How Private Preserve Works

Private preserve is a unique gas that lays a blanket over the wine. Private Preserve's gases are heavier than air, and thus displace oxygen from the surface of the wine. Private Preserve therefore prevents the wine from oxidizing (spoiling). The mixture of gases in Private Preserve are inert, harmless, tasteless and completely environmentally safe.

How Private Preserve Is Used

Private Preserve has an extension tube that is attached to the spray head. You simply insert the tube into the neck of the wine bottle and spray. The wine bottle is then re-corked and stored upright.

Frequently Asked Questions
 

1. Why not just use a vacuum system?
   First of all, vacuum systems do not work (Wall Street Journal 12/12/88); they are not effective in removing enough oxygen to prevent oxidation. Secondly, vacuum systems also remove the wine's bouquet.
   
    
2. Does Private Preserve interfere with the taste of the wine?
   Absolutely Not! There are no chemicals in Private Preserve, it is an inert, harmless, tasteless gas. Private Preserve actually helps preserve the wine's bouquet, unlike vacuum wine saving products.
   
    
3. How long will Private Preserve keep wine fresh?
   Whilst on test in California a bottle was kept for full year without any deterioration in the wine. Please note that wines vary in their ability to be preserved for long periods of time. Private Preserve will only keep wines fresh for as long as the wine can be kept fresh, typically the wine should be consumed within a few weeks.
   
    
4. How quickly does the cork or the stopper need to be replaced after spraying the gas?
   As quickly as possible as air currents passing over the top of the bottle can disturb the Private Preserve gases on the surface of the wine.
   
    
5. Why is the Private Preserve canister so light?
   Because all that it contains is a mixture of inert gases. In fact the same gases are used by wineries when they bottle their wines.
