Abstract: Wine storage system including a front panel, a back panel, and two side panels. The wine storage system can be in an assembled or disassembled state and can be assembled or disassembled by a user. When assembled, the wine storage system takes the form of a wine rack. The front panel and back panel each comprise a plurality of wine bottle apertures configured to receive wine bottles. The design of the wine storage system is such that when the wine rack is assembled, the wine bottle apertures of the front panel correspond to wine bottle apertures of the back panel to form a support structure for the wine bottles to be placed at an incline or a substantially horizontal position in the wine rack.

Abstract: An inflatable member fabricated of an elastomeric expandable material is provided. The inflatable member has a sack-like configuration and is provided with a substantially centrally disposed nipple. A plastic disc is secured to the upper portion of the inflatable member or formed integrally therewith and the nipple extends upwardly through a central aperture in the disc. The inflatable member is positioned within the neck of a bottle, especially a wine bottle, with the disc positioned atop the lip of the bottle. The inflatable member is then filled with a pressurized inert gas through the nipple causing the elastomeric material to expand and be forced into contiguous and coextensive relationship with an interior portion of the bottle neck, thereby hermetically sealing the bottle. The nipple is then heat fused to maintain the hermetic seal.
