  • Publication number: 20160137476
    Abstract: The inventive system and method advantageously enable superior preserved storage and selective dispensation of liquids by storing wine (or other liquids) in a pressurized environment to ensure that the stored liquid does not come into contact with air, and then by selectively dispensing a portion of the stored liquid, in accordance with a desired dispensing regime, by utilizing a controlled source of pressure force to apply a sufficient pressure to the pressurized environment to expel the desired volume of the liquid in a pressurized stream directed to a dispensing/pouring interface through a conduit or equivalent delivery system. In at least several novel embodiments thereof, the system and method of the present invention are configured for use with wine-in-bag (“WinB”) products.

  • Publication number: 20140166694
    Abstract: The inventive system and method advantageously enable superior preserved storage, preservation, and management of selective dispensation of beverages (e.g., wine), by storing the beverages in a pressurized environment to ensure that the stored beverage does not come into contact with air, and then by selectively dispensing a portion of the stored beverage, in accordance with a desired dispensing regime (which may be configured and controlled locally, remotely, and/or via a computerized system), by utilizing a controlled source of pressure force to apply a sufficient pressure to the pressurized environment to expel the desired volume of the beverage in a pressurized stream directed to a remote dispensing/pouring interface (for example located in a desired area of a bar, restaurant, or other hospitality establishment) through a liquid delivery system.
