ORIGINAL: BornToRhone Would this work better? 1-drink half the bottle 2-pour the remainder into a 375. 3-fill with Argon. 4-drink the rest another day. If you can pour the wine into a 375, there will be less air in the bottle than in the 750. Problem solved. That was too funny Chic. Maybe Skeletor could do it. Joe, it would be fine to pour the leftover 375ml into the the split bottle and a small squirt of wine preserver for a short time, but the pouring exposes the wine, as it pour and splashes into the split, to the oxygen in the environment, plus giving a greater surface area to the room gases, and a venturi effect into the liquid. Last night a guy asked about popping a bottle of champagne, and worried that leaving it open for an hour of two in ice, would cause all the bubbles to dissipate. The fact that when you actually pour the sparkling wine, you are discharging about half the bubbles that were in the wine in the beginning. These are just weird nerdy concepts, but definitely good questions to any new device, for home wine use. This has some pretty bold claims, and really want to see how it works practically. We can postulate hypotheticals all day and night, but until its field tested by trusted winos, we really won't know if it works, works well or is just another wine gadget thats purchase price could have been applied towards new wine purchases. At $200, it seems worth a look, especially if somebody has wines that are drinkable now, and could be great in the future. I think this could really be useful in 2009 Bdx and CdP as well as 2010 CdP, that we wonder about their profile now and in 10 years.
