Why Wine Needs to Be Preserved After Opening
Once uncorked, wine immediately encounters oxygen. This triggers oxidation: aromas evolve, freshness fades, and tannins soften.
- Still wines (red, white, rosé) are highly sensitive. Aromas flatten, colors change, textures lose definition.
- Sparkling wines primarily suffer from pressure loss. As the gas escapes, effervescence disappears, dulling liveliness and mouthfeel.
Preservation systems address these specific challenges: airtight stoppers to slow oxidation, vacuum pumps to remove oxygen, and secure sparkling wine stoppers to lock in precious bubbles.
Preservation Tools for Still Wines
Discreet and reusable, still wine stoppers seal a bottle in one simple motion. Their flexible ring adapts to most bottles, ensuring a reliable seal from weekday wines to grands crus.
For extended protection, Gard’Vin vacuum pumps go further by extracting air from the bottle. Used with technical stoppers equipped with vacuum indicators, they help preserve aromas for several days, respecting the winemaker’s intent glass after glass.
Sparkling Wine Preservation
Champagne, crémant, and sparkling wines demand more than a simple closure — they require pressure control. Our stoppers feature a locking mechanism that prevents leaks while maintaining effervescence.
Models like Gard’Bulles or Bubble Cork embody this balance of safety, elegance, and technical mastery, ensuring every flute retains its celebratory sparkle.
