Argon capsule has been invented as oenological gas was used in the cellars to inert the wine barrels after vinification.
The usefulness of these natural gases is to avoid the oxidation of wines during the various stages and before bottling. The Wikeeps Argon capsule was also invented while visiting cellars.

We had the idea of developing a system that no longer interferes to the wine at rest but the wine being tasted, and therefore injects inert gas into the bottle during service. Introducing our innovative pressurized system, similar to a siphon for serving seltzer water, designed to effortlessly dispense your wine while creating a protective layer of gas on the liquid surface.
This ingenious solution shields your wine from oxidation upon opening the bottle and during initial servings, ensuring its impeccable freshness and taste. The concept was born.
Wikeeps revolution
Wikeeps would revolutionize the service of wine by the glass while offering the possibility of keeping an open bottle for up to 4 weeks.
Last but not least was to develop the proper Gas, the Argon capsule.
Expert business entrusted to experts!
We therefore called on the world’s largest player in the wine industry, the absolute specialist: LINDE.
The latter told us in 2010 that an Argon capsule would be much better able to meet our “insulation” needs because it is heavier than air. They nevertheless insist on adding a low % of CO2 (20%) to keep wine freshness and avoid “astringent” effect.
Today, our Wikeeps Argon capsules – Argon +Co2 – are sold worldwide.
These are 21ml cartridges containing 6.5g of Gas and pressurized to 200 bar.
Their capacity allows serving 4 to 5 bottles with the Essential Wikeeps system.
Note that these cartridges are compatible with all wine by the glass or tasting systems on the market that use this standard market format such as Wiserve, Preservino, Coravin.
