 Works great, esp. in small bottles September 2, 2008
E. Wick
I'm a big fan of this product. It's totally changed how I drink wine. My wife is not a big wine fan, so before I had this product, opening a bottle was a "full bottle commitment". This precluded me from tasting the more expensive wines from my cellar without a partner.
Now what I do is decant half of a new bottle into a half-bottle (which I wash and reuse). I preserve the half bottle with argon gas. Because there is only 1 cm of air at the top of the half bottle, it tales very little argon! I then enjoy the remaining half of the bottle and save the other half for later. The non-consumed half bottles easily keep a week, so now I can taste my more expensive wines as two half-bottle events instead of a full bottle event. The only downside is that you have to be fairly religious about washing the half bottles and Preservino stoppers.
I will give this device to fellow wine-drinkers as a gift.
Drink well!
 Hmm does it really work? July 24, 2008

I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It was expensive and fancy looking, but does it work? I think the results are inconclusive, certainly not clear one way or another. That being said the majority of the wines my wife drinks are sub $10 bottles, so it may be that the wine is questionable to begin with. I have used it on some quality wines and I would still be hard pressed to determine if the argon made any difference. I would not make this purchase again unless the price was cut in half.
 Works wonderfully but at a price March 14, 2007

I love how well this system works! I've been using one for three months and recently bought another for a friend. I have opened a "saved" bottle a week after using the PEK system and it still tastes exactly as it should. It's amazing. I had been using a vac-u-vin by the same company and now when I use it I can clearly taste the difference in the wine the next day.
The one downside is that the argon is fairly expensive. You can buy a pack of 4 cartridges for approx $12. The party line is that you can store 8-10 bottles with a cartridge. Although I am far from an expert and probably use more argon than necessary, I only get 2-3 bottles per cartridge. At first I wasn't using enough so I am certain to count to the upper end of what they recommend. If I manage to eek out 3 bottles, it's still $1 per bottle saved. Worth it to me, but maybe not to everyone...
