Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for the preparation and bottling of liquids enriched with oxygen or with an oxygen/gas mixture. The method includes filling one or more containers with a gas enriched liquid; and sealing the containers pressure-tight, whereby the gas enriched liquid is kept under a nitrogen atmosphere at least part of the time during the bottling process. The process includes a filling device having one or more filling elements including a liquid valve, at least one gas valve, and a nitrogen-filled chamber; a flow connection for flushing and/or prepressurizing a container with nitrogen; and a sealing device configured to seal the containers pressure-tight using a closure. The instant abstract is neither intended to define the invention disclosed in this specification nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.
Abstract: A device for holding liquid includes a container with an outlet opening. A closure for closing the outlet opening of the container, wherein a sealing body structured for sealing engagement with the outlet opening when the closure is arranged in a position closing the outlet opening. At least one capture attachment coupled to the sealing body. Further, at least one engagement element coupled to the closure element being detachably attachable to the at least one capture attachment. The instant abstract is neither intended to define the invention disclosed in this specification nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.

Abstract: According to the inventive method, the filling of a drinks container (10) with a drink (15) produced from an initial liquid (24) and containing a gas dissolved therein is carried out in an inventive device (20) comprising a filling device (50) which fills the drink container (10) with the drink (15) in such a way that a pre-determined residual gas volume (14) remains above the drink (15) in the drinks container (10). The inventive device also comprises a closing device (74) which closes the drinks container (10). According to the invention, a liquid oxygen supply device (64), which is directly arranged upstream of the closing device (74) in the transport direction of the drinks container (10), introduces a pre-determined amount of liquid oxygen into the drinks container (10). The inventive drinks container can hold even high concentration of gas, especially oxygen, dissolved in the drink at least until the best before date.
