A wine dispenser is a state-of-the-art appliance that provides the user with the ability to preserve and dispense wine.

Wine dispensers are commonly found at bars, restaurants, hotels, resorts, and in the homes of serious wine connoisseurs. If you are serious about wine and like the idea of pouring by the ounce and minimizing waste, a wine dispenser may be a worthwhile investment.

How Does a Wine Dispenser Operate?

A wine dispenser is a combination of both a wine cooler and a dispenser. The storage area of the dispenser is insulated and sealed to keep the wine at the perfect temperature. An uncorked bottle of wine is placed into the wine cooler, while the gas and wine tube are inserted into the bottle. Wine dispensers use food-safe nitrogen or argon gas, which replaces oxygen inside the bottle, preserving the wine and preventing oxidization. Wine dispensers generally have two different serving options; one is free-flowing, and the other will dispense wine by ounce. Wine will remain fresh and at the perfect serving temperature for several weeks or more.
