ABSTRACT:
A compact and portable wine dispensing device is provided, having a support structure coupled to a closure member which fits into the neck of the wine bottle, which structure supports a removable inert gas cartridge, a gas purge valve, a wine dispensing valve, an extended gas feeder tube, an extended wine feeder tube, a gas pressure restriction regulator, a bottle switching valve and a one way valve. The portable dispensing device is fitted within the neck of the bottle, the gas cartridge is then inserted into the device and activated, and the gas purge valve is actuated to cause the inert gas within the cartridge to purge oxygen within the space above the wine, which air passes through the purge valve and out into the atmosphere. The wine is thus protected from oxidation during storage, and upon being utilized again, the wine dispensing valve is turned on and the wine is dispensed therethrough, due to the elevated pressure above the wine in the bottle, which forces the wine up through the extended wine feeder tube and through the dispensing valve. Upon finishing the wine, the bottle switching valve is closed and the device is removed from the empty wine bottle, such valve preventing discharge of gas from the cartridge.
