New VinoVault and Preservino Make Preserving Wine Affordable and Easier

June 2006 - One of the main drawbacks to purchasing a bottle of fine wine is the pressure to finish it before the flavor and bouquet of the wine are altered. Once it has been uncorked, the air begins to oxidize the wine, causing it to spoil and the flavors to change drastically. Wine lovers often have this problem when they try to save an open bottle for another day. Now, whether you are opening a $15 bottle of merlot or a $300 bottle of Chateau Lafite, there are two new affordable ways to preserve your favorite wines at home or while dining at your favorite restaurant. The makers of the popular Pek Wine Steward introduce the VinoVault and the Preservino, two of the most effective and convenient wine preservation systems available today.

"As every wine enthusiast knows, flavor and bouquet make - or break - a good bottle of wine," says Greg Luzaich, CEO of Pek Preservation Systems, Inc. "Our customers really enjoy our original product, the Pek Wine Steward because it safely preserves the wine's quality and flavor after the bottle is uncorked. The new VinoVault and Preservino feature the same superior technology, innovative engineering, and elegant design that went into the Wine Steward while providing more versatility. Now, wine connoisseurs who want state-of-the art wine preservation and storage have a wide range of options, all delivering professional capability without the outrageous price tag." Luzaich adds "Our products allow for perfect food/wine pairings where you can open a white wine with the appetizer, a red wine with the entrée, and a dessert wine without feeling the need to finish all three. Pek products are truly the best in class for wine by the glass."

The extremely portable Preservino uses high-purity Argon gas (80 percent more effective than the nitrogen gas used in other wine preservers) to keep wine at the peak of freshness. Ideal for preserving a bottle of wine from your favorite restaurant or at a friend's home, simply insert the Preservino's injection nozzle into the custom cork, inject the Argon gas, remove the nozzle from the cork, and...voila...the Preservino protects every bottle effectively. The Preservino includes two specially designed reusable corks and one Argon gas cartridge, all handsomely presented in a gift box perfect to take just about anywhere - to your favorite restaurant, on a picnic, or to a friend's home. At a retail price of $39.95, the Preservino is the perfect gift for the wine lover on your list.

The well-crafted VinoVault is the world's first "preserving wine refrigerator." It incorporates unmatched wine preservation with multi-bottle cooling and storage, ultimately enhancing the experience of enjoying a good bottle of wine. Since the VinoVault can hold 14 bottles, it allows wine lovers to preserve as many bottles as desired and then use the remaining space to store unopened bottles at their optimum temperature. The VinoVault's precision cooling system uses state-of-the-art technology that provides ultra-quiet operation. Luzaich notes, "Drinking wine at the correct temperature adds greatly to the experience. In addition, storing unopened bottles in our cooling vault protects your investment in fine wine."

To preserve an opened bottle of wine in the VinoVault, simply fill the partially consumed bottle with Argon gas using the built-in injection nozzle, and leave the bottle upright - the lighted window proudly displays the bottle's label. Preserve additional bottles by sealing them with Pek brand corks and then laying them flat for storage. Every VinoVault is a true "two for one" appliance. Its retail price of $299.95 makes this revolutionary technology accessible to all wine lovers.

Pek Reusable Wine Corks are also available. Beautiful and functional, these chrome stoppers are designed specifically for use with Pek's argon technology with the Pek Wine Steward, Preservino and VinoVault systems. ($14.95 for a two pack).

"With wine frequently appearing in your favorite TV shows, and in movies like Sideways, Hollywood and the world continue their love affair with great wine," Luzaich states. "With the new and revolutionary technology that make our preservation systems unlike any other, you get the highest quality wine preservation system available."

The VinoVault and Preservino will be available in September 2006 For more information about Pek's unique wine preservation technology and the complete line of Pek wine preservation products, please visit www.peksystems.com or call (800) 560-8860.
