Types of Wine Preservation Systems for Restaurant

When selecting a preservation system for your restaurant, consider factors like bottle capacity, ease of use, compatibility with various wine types but mostly efficiency of it. Each system has its unique advantages, catering to different restaurant needs 

Vacuum Pumps

A basic system that won’t work miracles. You need one vacuum pumps per bottle, and this device will increase the wine’s shelf-life by a few days at most. In theory, it removes oxygen from the inside of the bottle and limits oxidation. In practice, every time the wine is served, air will enter the bottle so it is not optimal.

Inert Gas Systems

Inert gas systems are the better solution to preserve wine by forming a protective layer between wine and oxygen thanks to its density. These gas are used by the beverage industry to displace oxygen. See visual representation of the inert Argon gas within the wine bottle to prevent oxidation below.

Preservation Capsules

It’s a solution that works for one bottle at a time. Its gas capsules – argon or nitrogen – bind oxygen and prevent oxidation. These capsules have no effect on the other factors influencing wine quality.
