ABSTRACT:
A process, apparatus, and system are provided for preserving and dispensing wine from a bottle or other container. The process involves directing a chemically inert gas under pressure from a reservoir to a bottle containing a wine. The pressure of the gas is reduced prior to its introduction into the bottle. The bottle is positioned generally vertically within a hermetically and thermally sealed enclosure. A gas flow line enters the bottle and has a first end connected to a gas source and a second end which terminates within the bottle between a bottle plug and the contained liquid. By passing the gas into the bottle, liquid within the bottle is forced through an end of a second line which is positioned in the wine to a second end of the line positioned on the exterior of the bottle. The flow of wine is caused by the introduction of gas under pressure into the interior of the bottle between the bottle plug and the wine. The apparatus for performing the process includes first and second flow lines, a gas reservoir, a gas valve and spigot and a wine spigot. The system includes the same elements and further includes a vertically upstanding bottle, a bottle closure and a hermetically and thermally sealed enclosure in which the bottle is positioned.
