Wine oxidizes when exposed to air, causing a distinctive sherry-like off-odor and brownish tint that is increasingly recognizable with wine consumption experience. When wine tannins are oxidized, hydrogen peroxide is produced which subsequently oxidizes ethanol into acetaldehyde - the principal compound producing the oxidized odor and masking the wine's fragrance. On opening a bottle, acetaldehyde generation can be detected within as little as two to eight hours, depending on varietal, age, amount of wine contact with air, temperature, etc. White wines and older reds are particularly susceptible to oxidation damage. The biggest factor in oxidation is the amount of wine surface contact with air following opening and pouring. Therefore, wine preservation products that are most effective at reducing air contact with the wine surface will best reduce oxidation. The Wine Steward is the first device ever to truly extend the life of an open bottle of wine and ensure the wine is served at the precise temperature for the perfect flavor-considering different wines require different temperatures for just the right taste. It's the taste of wine that's important to wine lovers, and the Wine Steward is all about taste. A revelation to the wine lover, and indispensable to the connoisseur... the Wine Steward is an essential purchase, and the perfect gift. | | | Features: | |

 Not Ready for Prime TimeOct 27, 2008
By Ian Eales
A great idea executed poorly.
The unit is not a capable of cooling more than a few degrees below room temperature. We live in California and daytime summer room temperature when we are not home is 85°F. Wine is cooled to about 75°F, even when set on the coldest setting.
Temperature setting is wildly inaccurate, off by more that 10°F.
The unit puts out a LOT of heat under the unit, enough to heat the counter to 120°F. Bad design to heat the area below the unit as that heat is radiated up into the unit.
The power supply gets very hot, hotter than is good design.
The gas canister does not seal very well as it emptied in about a week with no bottle in the unit.
The bright LED to illuminate the bottle is silly. Light is an enemy of wine. The fans are quite noisy, too noisy to place the unit near a dinner party.
First unit died after a few days.
Replacement unit did not cool. Returned.

Great productJun 21, 2007

I own it. Seems like it is balogna, but works better than any other system I have tried. I have had a bottle of wine in mine for weeks and it was as good when consumed the second time.
UPDATE:
It breaks constantly. The company did send out replacements, even after the warranty was up, but it will not keep temp after the first month or so. Now I just use it to inject gas into the bottle.
 Just the ticket!Dec 23, 2007

I ordered this item for my husband's birthday not knowing if he would like it, as neither of us knew anything about wine preservers. But, knowing my gadget-loving, wine-loving husband, I figured it was a good bet. To make a short story even shorter, he loved it. He has dragged every one of our friends and family members downstairs to see it. It does everything it says it will do, no problem with bait and switch here. The only thing I though was a little odd was that the insulation (you can see it through the window)was just silver styrofoam. For the price, I guess I expected something a little more high-tech.
