"saved many a bottle of red"
After trying vacuum pump / seals, I found this to clearly beat them. Generally keeps our reds for a week, when otherwise I would taste a vinegar taste after a day.

In reading some of the other reviewes, I can't specifically recall whether it lasts for 120 uses, but with my wife and I drinking 1-2 bottles a week, it lasts for months. Well worth the money in my opinion.

"works well, but NOT 120+ uses as touted"
i love this product - it's easy to use and has saved a lot of bottles. BUT it doesn't seem to last 120+ uses as stated on the cannister. towards the end, i lost some wine - it's hard to gauge when the cannister isn't giving off enough gas to adequately protect the wine from oxidation. but, until i can find a better replacement, it sure beats using the manual vacuum-creator/pump.

"Out of Gas"
I've used gas wine preservers for many years with good results. In my opinion, it's the best way to preserve an opened bottle of wine.Private Reserve is a good product except that the last can I bought had only 22 two second bursts in it. They advertise 120 uses and 600 seperate sprays. I don't know if someone tampered with only this bottle or whether it's the norm but beware that you may run out of the gas sooner than later.

What our customer's say!

"Best Wine Preservation Solution IMO", I've been drinking and saving partial bottles of wine for years with this stuff. I've played with those wine vacuum pumps in the store, and I can tell you from experience using vacuum bells in engineering labs, that there is no way those little pumps and seals could remove enough atmosphere to make a substantial impact in lowering wine oxidation.

As for the amount of gas in the bottles, I usually purchase Private Preserve by the case, in an unopened box, and I've never had an issue. I can usually get at about 100 uses from a can. I think the instructions on the back are over-simplified; when the bottle is brand new and the pressure is high, you have to cut the amount of spraying time at least in half, if not more. Then gradually increase the amount of time as the pressure decreases. Remember; only the surface area of the exposed wine needs to be covered, which is pretty small, and not the entire remaining empty volume.

"Common Sense Math", This item contains inert gas which is heavier than oxygen.
It creates a layer on top of the wine which prevents oxidation.
You do not need to fill the bottle with the inert gas to prevent oxidation.
Wine worth saving costs at least $15 a bottle.

Assume it saves a half a bottle each time it is used. That is $7+ per use saved.

If you use good sense and spray only what is necessary you can get many uses out of a bottle.

Worst case, say it has 20 uses in it, that is 50 cents per use. Is there any more that needs to be said?

"No Gas!", Bought this on the advice of an expert. However, only about 2-3 seconds of gas - hardly the 120 uses. Maybe a pattern is emerging?

"Better than the vacu products", Great product. I drink a bottle a week, so must store at room temp for several days. A couple squirts each time, and the can lasts for months and months. Very good product for the money. The wine preservation seems to last over twice as long as the vacu products, which I have used extensively until I tried this.

"Great Stuff. Better than any alternative I've found", I've tried the vacuum pump things and they are about as good at preserving wine as they are at increasing "size." Perhaps it works for a very short time, but it doesn't last.

This stuff lasts. I've left a bottle of red for over a week and it was still great. In fact, with some young wines I find they are better after opening, having one glass, then closing with Private Preserve and enjoying the rest the next day.

I'm not sure of the 120+ uses, but I'm very happy with the value at $10/btl.
