Meet Wine Shield, the revolutionary new way to preserve wine in the bottle for up to 5 days

Cut Sample Expense by 50% – Wine Shield Significantly Reduces Your Sample Expense

 
With ever increasing sample cost budgets, wine importers and wine distributors are looking to cut expenses.

Wine Shield offers a very unique opportunity for wine importers and wine distributors who are looking to dramatically cut sample expenses by over 50%. Due to Wine Shield ability to keep wine fresh for up to 5 days, the wine trade is taking advantage of this all important tool. No need to use non-effective, unsafe, or expensive preservation tools – with Wine Shield, the one-time deployment means constant wine preservation for the entire bottle!

Wine importers and wine distributors have also seen the value in offering Wine Shields to their own accounts either as a promotional tool or an added revenue stream.

Simply slip a Wine Shield disc into the bottle and it will float on the surface, creating a barrier between the wine and the air space in the bottle, and dramatically slowing the oxidation process that spoils wine.

Wine Shield is inexpensive and easy to use because there’s no gas or vacuum pump involved.

The wine will retain the taste and aroma just as the winemaker intended. Watch the video below for a step-by-step, animated demonstration on the ease of inserting Wine Shield into any standard 750ml wine bottle.

Why Wine Shield is Best

	Wine Shield	Argon-Nitrogen Gas Canisters	Vacuum Systems	Self-enclosed Systems
Efficacy	Maintains wine taste, aroma and color in an open bottle for at least 5 days; one-time deployment for continuous preservation. Laboratory tests have shown excellent results at 7 days.	Argon: Unsubstantiated claims are 1 year; failure to reapply gas after each pour will reduce efficacy. Nitrogen: Limited life in bottle due to absorption of nitrogen by the wine.	Depends on system: from 2 days to 25 days; requires re-pumping every time a glass is poured. Significant air pulling occurs as in-bottle wine level drops causing further removal of aroma from the wine. Reports indicate that a true vacuum is not created and/or the vacuum cannot hold over period of time.	15-20 days wine preservation.
Cost	Commercial application is $.25 -$.33/bottle	$15.95 -$49.95 (approximately $2.00/bottle based on 3 separate application events)	Initial cost: $9.95 (entry level) to $5,000; on-going expense of maintenance and additional stoppers.	Initial cost: $12,000; on-going expense of maintenance (approximately $.60/bottle).
Ease of Use	Approximately 3 seconds per bottle; no cleaning, fully recyclable with bottle. Easy to verify proper application.	Approximately 10 seconds per bottle. Difficult to verify proper application.	30 seconds to pump on entry level products to 1 second for more expensive systems. Additional time considerations for installation of machine components and extra parts to make effective. Difficult to verify without touching bottle stopper.	Installation of machine parts and installation of bottles in system; requires continuous maintenance. Easy to verify.
Safety	100% FDA approved food contact safe material; no leaching or taint. Tested by ETS Laboratory, Napa, CA.	Argon: inert gas with potential safety concerns (due to weight of gas, exists a high chance that it will be poured into the glass with the wine). No safety warnings for possible ingestion of Argon. Nitrogen: known to be absorbed into the wine.	No health or safety issues reported.	No health or safety issues reported.
Endorsed	By sommeliers, master sommeliers, restaurant owners and wine critics	Some endorsement by the wine community for Argon.	Vacuum systems are generally not supported by wine community due to the effect of degrading the aroma of wine.	By sommeliers, master sommeliers, restaurant owners and wine critics when space and money are not an issue

Video Introduction to How Wine Shield Works
