Customer Reviews of Wine Enthusiast Private Preserve Wine Preservation Spray
Customer Rating:  Summary: Best Wine Preservation Solution IMO Comment: I've been drinking and saving partial bottles of wine for years with this stuff. I've played with those wine vacuum pumps in the store, and I can tell you from experience using vacuum bells in engineering labs, that there is no way those little pumps and seals could remove enough atmosphere to make a substantial impact in lowering wine oxidation. As for the amount of gas in the bottles, I usually purchase Private Preserve by the case, in an unopened box, and I've never had an issue. I can usually get at about 100 uses from a can. I think the instructions on the back are over-simplified; when the bottle is brand new and the pressure is high, you have to cut the amount of spraying time at least in half, if not more. Then gradually increase the amount of time as the pressure decreases. Remember; only the surface area of the exposed wine needs to be covered, which is pretty small, and not the entire remaining empty volume. Customer Rating: Summary: Common Sense Math Comment: This item contains inert gas which is heavier than oxygen. It creates a layer on top of the wine which prevents oxidation. You do not need to fill the bottle with the inert gas to prevent oxidation. Wine worth saving costs at least $15 a bottle. Assume it saves a half a bottle each time it is used. That is $7+ per use saved. If you use good sense and spray only what is necessary you can get many uses out of a bottle. Worst case, say it has 20 uses in it, that is 50 cents per use. Is there any more that needs to be said? Customer Rating:  Summary: No Gas! Comment: Bought this on the advice of an expert. However, only about 2-3 seconds of gas - hardly the 120 uses. Maybe a pattern is emerging? Customer Rating: Summary: Better than the vacu products Comment: Great product. I drink a bottle a week, so must store at room temp for several days. A couple squirts each time, and the can lasts for months and months. Very good product for the money. The wine preservation seems to last over twice as long as the vacu products, which I have used extensively until I tried this. Customer Rating: Summary: Great Stuff. Better than any alternative I've found Comment: I've tried the vacuum pump things and they are about as good at preserving wine as they are at increasing "size." Perhaps it works for a very short time, but it doesn't last. This stuff lasts. I've left a bottle of red for over a week and it was still great. In fact, with some young wines I find they are better after opening, having one glass, then closing with Private Preserve and enjoying the rest the next day. I'm not sure of the 120+ uses, but I'm very happy with the value at $10/btl. More Reviews As Featured on CHOW.com Voted Best Wine Preservation System Your opened wine's blanket of protection. Endorsed by some of the country's best-known wine critics, this system uses 100% inert gas (non-toxic) to remove all of the oxygen from your opened bottle. Preserve your wine's freshness in 4 easy steps. 1) Insert included tube securely into nozzle with a twisting motion. 2) Place the tip of the tube into the neck of the bottle midway down and against the glass. 3) Have cork or stopper ready on top of bottle resting against the tube. 4) Spray for 1/2 of a second and then 4 shorter bursts, both quickly pull the tube out and insert cork or stopper into the bottle. An amazing 120-plus uses in 1 can. Remember in order to keep your wine fresh, you have to seal your wine bottles with a stopper, such as our All Purpose Wine Stoppers (sold separately) 
Choosing Appliance -> Range Cookers The way you cook is also key to deciding which type of range cooker to choose. No-frills heat storage ranges such as Agas retain heat they have gradually built up and generally have two ovens without temperature controls - the hot oven is for roasting and baking, the cool one for slow cooking/keeping warm. Choosing Appliance -> Built-in Ovens Keen cooks may want to take advantage of multi-function ovens - usually aimed at the top end of the market. As well as traditional cooking, fan or fan-assisted cooking and grilling, these ovens offer up to nine further functions. These include: Top element only (browning), bottom element (final cooking of pastry dishes or pizzas), fan and bottom element (delicate cooking), fan only (thawing).

Useful info -> Self-Cleaning Ovens Store measuring cups, mixing bowls and other items used together in the same place. Duplicate frequently used items like cutting boards, knives and dish towels in each work area. Keep two containers - one at the baking center, the other at the range - for wooden spoons, spatulas and other cooking basics. And try to store every item at its first point of use. Keep the saute pan near the range, and stow pasta pots near the sink. |
