Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Wine Preservation Systems 🍷

What is TECVINO and what solutions does it offer?

TECVINO, a brand of Wide Tech Development, creates innovative systems to preserve still and sparkling wines, maintaining their freshness and flavor for more than 25 days as if the bottles were freshly opened. In the case of sparkling wines, it also maintains their characteristic bubbles ✨. Our range includes airtight stoppers, gas systems, and portable or professional solutions.

What is the difference between PCONSWINE and the PACK Systems?

• PCONSWINE: Designed for still wines, uses food-grade argon gas to prevent oxidation. • PACK: Ideal for sparkling wines, uses CO₂ under pressure to preserve effervescence and prevent oxidation.

In the case of sparkling wines, should I use a protective bottle cover?

• NO, PACK PRO and MINI PACK automatically adjust pressures so that NO Sparkling Wine Bottle can Explode ⚠️. Our stoppers are designed to: • Sparkling: Maintain pressure and bubbles and prevent oxidation. • Still: Prevent oxidation. • In both cases, conservation of more than 25 days is guaranteed.

Is it expensive to use these gases? 💸

• Argon (PCONSWINE): Preserves ~350 bottles, with a cost of less than 0.02 €/glass. • CO₂ (PACK PRO): ~50 bottles per cylinder, ~0.06 €/glass. • MINI PACK: 16 g capsules, preserves 2-3 bottles per capsule, approximately 0.12 €/glass. • These costs may vary slightly depending on how the glasses are served, how many per bottle, and the purchase cost of the gas. Tecvino does not supply gases
