Introduction
During the Foire aux Vins, wine lovers fill up their cellars with bottles.
For wines that need a few years to reach maturity and reveal all their aromas, patience is called for. For other wines, ready for tasting, the question arises of how to store them over a short period of time and rescue of wine preservation, i.e. the days following the opening of the bottles.
In fact, the way we consume wine has evolved, both in restaurants and at home, we now prefer to choose our wine by the glass rather than by the bottle, and at home, we no longer have to finish a bottle we’ve already started, so we can choose our wine according to the menu or our individual tastes.
Opening several bottles over the course of an evening to match food and wine pairings, or to cater for the different tastes of guests, raises the question of how to rescue of wine preservation remaining in the opened bottles.
In response to the new needs of an increasingly well-informed clientele eager for oenological tips, tools initially dedicated to sommelier or restaurant professionals are gradually arriving in specialized stores accessible to the general public.
