(Wines&Vines) - The acts of preserving and transporting partially consumed bottles of wine traditionally have been considered two separate issues, but a Seattle sporting goods manufacturer has devised a single solution. The founders of Cascade Designs Inc. hope both consumers and the wine industry will use PlatyPreserve to remove excess oxygen easily and securely transport and store the remaining wine for days or even weeks. In appearance, PlatyPreserve is similar to the now familiar AstraPouch, introduced in the United States in 2010 by New York’s Glenora Winery. Brainchild of John Burroughs, Cascade’s co-founder and chairman, PlatyPreserve has significant differences in materials, design and market.
