will wine loose its flavor over a 7 day cruise in these?

We put hard alcohol in them, and you are allowed one bottle of wine on a cruise, so we just took the bottle of wine on with us. Didnt lose its flavor.

Once you expose wine to air it begins to change. So I would say yes, but it could be worth a try. But you can bring 1 or 2 bottles aboard most cruise lines, so check into that.

I used it for hard alcohol and it didn't loose flavor on my 7 day cruise. Wine might loose flavor being in a plastic flask.

Should be fine - you might need to "recharge" it once during that time frame with a soak in water but otherwise it should be fine. My mother used it on a 7 day cruise and her insulin pens and little jars stayed comfortably cool the whole time. I cannot imagine any issues on a 2-3 day drive out of the sun.

I'd say a few days, up to a week, similar to other growlers. it would help if you flushed with CO2 first. Manufacturer mentions this is not suitable for carbonating/aging.

Nope. I've personally used it for several continuous months on a wine over a winter. I think the "up to eight days" thing is for legal purposes in case someone burns it out under a pile of laundry or something.

The top and the decanter are both crystal so it may not be 100% air tight. I do know that the taste definitely doesn't change!

I haven't tried those two specifically, but I've tried other flavorings in the water and the taste ended up lingering as a funky after taste in the carbon for a few bottles after that. I wouldn't recommend doing that and I've never done it again.

They'll last a few weeks in the fridge but understand a fridge will dry them out fast as well. Might be better off just buying a fresh lime or two from the grocery store when you need your gin and tonic.....not going to taste the flavor difference whether you get the key limes or use regular limes.

I leave my kombucha fermenting for 7 days. After 7 days we bottle it with flavoring, whether dry or fresh fruit we leave it sit in the dark for 3 days. This will help with the fizziness. After that put in fridge. The longer you let it sit the more vinegar it will taste.

I'd say they're fine for 6 months or so. Have you tried then before? I would recommend tasting them before investing in bulk.

I would agree with the other reviewer. When I ordered a case they remained fresh until they were gone. If you have a couple a day they'll be gone before it would be a concern.

Perhaps a purist would suggest you rinse it after changing to a different wine....?

That is a good question. I "racked" my wine about three weeks ago, and every bit of settimment washed out. They do not stain. As far as aging the wine in them, I have always done so in glass or wood, so this is a first time for me. I plan on bottling the wine soon anyway, so I'm hoping not to keep it in the plastic for too long, not that it should matter, with a good air lock and minimal air to surface of the wine. I hope this helps.

I don't really know much about wines but what I can tell you is that every bottle we have used it on we taste it before aeration and after and there is a distinct difference!! So I would have to say yes.

The Wine saver won't work with sparkling wines...This does..keeps it close to new for a while...Someone else makes one that has a clam style that works ok too...This is just for sparkling wines....and won't work with regular non-sparkling wines ..Hope that helps...I have about three different styles of them I've gotten over the years....as I carry on vacations so sometimes I lost them...great if you just want a couple glasses and keep it for another night...will not keep for a long time...say a month...slowly loses it's fizz.doesn't take air out...it is a spring loaded cap that keeps a tight seal so the fizz stays in.

I wouldn't suggest putting liquids in them. I would be afraid they might leak. The corks do stay on well, but for oil it may be risky...

Ken, if these are the ones packed in water you will have no problem. I have been buying them for years. Much better than packed in salt. They ship well and you should have no problem. Just refrigerate after opening.

I do not know if my comment reached you. I just tried to remove a lower shell and I could not. Another issue could be that the air that is circulated may suffer with the positionong of the bottles. Sorry, i did not finish my coment. On the other side. Of the river, Pouilly Fume is made, also an exceptional wine. They ate about $22/bottle.
