If you enjoy a good beverage a few days into the backcountry, Platypus has designed a new product to eliminate toting all that glass in your pack. The Platypus PlatyPreserve system allows you to take wine from the glass bottle, seal it into a PlatyPreserve container, and open it a few days later, still getting that just-opened taste!
Exposure to oxygen affects the taste of wine, and wine can go bad within 2-8 hours after opening a bottle. Crux! How do you tote you Pinot Noir on your 5 day backpacking trip without a) drinking the entire bottle the 1st night or b) hauling along that cumbersome glass bottle the entire trip and fumbling with gas-exchange systems to retain the taste? Get yourself a PlatyPreserve.
Platypus PlatyPreserve Features
- Collapsible container- when you’ve finished off your beverage, there’s no large container left around to haul for the remainder of the trip.
- The PlatyPreserve allows you to put your wine in, and then remove all the Oxygen from the bladder, eliminating the exposure to any O2. This keeps your wine tasty, even days later!
- No taste transfer! Your wine doesn’t taste like plastic.
- BPA Free- who likes that stuff anyways?
- The average glass wine bottle weighs 2 pounds! Shave that weight off.
- The PlatyPreserve allows you quite the selection of portable wine, as opposed to just the wine that comes in a box…
- $12.95 per bladder. A bit pricey, but think of the weight and space you’re saving.
