The present disclosure provides a carbonation preservation device that attaches to the mouth of an open container holding carbonated liquid. More specifically, the present invention relates to a device for preventing loss of carbonation from a carbonated liquid stored within a container by purging the trapped air above the remaining liquid within the container and replacing it with carbon dioxide or mixture of gases. When in place, the carbonation preservation device purges the air and other gases from the volume above the remaining carbonated liquid and fills the volume with a gas, such as carbon dioxide, or a mixture of gases, in order to pressurize the container and prevent the escape of carbon dioxide from the remaining carbonated liquid in the container.

One feature pertains to a device that includes a main body having a bottle-receiving end that receives an end of a bottle having a mouth and forms an airtight seal between an exterior surface of the bottle and an interior air cavity of the main body. The device also includes an actuator assembly that drives a stopper securement device into a stopper positioned within the mouth of the bottle and retracts the stopper securement device to remove the stopper from the mouth of the bottle. The device also includes a vacuum pump that evacuates air out of the interior air cavity and the bottle's headspace after the stopper has been removed to create a vacuum within the headspace. The actuator assembly may also drive the stopper securement device and the stopper back into the mouth of the bottle to reseal the bottle while the headspace is under vacuum.

The present invention relates to a method for producing a sport beverage, comprising the steps of providing malt and/or unmalted grains, providing mashing liquor produced from spent grains, processing the malt and the mashing liquor to obtain a wort, fermenting the wort by using a yeast and optionally, blending with flavour(s) and/or vitamin(s); and/or adding of sugar(s). The present invention further relates to a sport beverage obtained by said method, wherein said sport beverage is non-alcoholic or has an alcohol content of less than about 1.2 vol-%, preferably less than about 0.5 vol-%. The present invention also relates to the use of the sport beverage before and/or after physical activities.

Disclosed is a composition including yeast cells and at least one polyphenols having a molecular weight above 620 Da, the polyphenols are adsorbed and retained in the cytoplasm of the yeast cell. The present disclosure also concerns using the composition in cosmetic, dermatological, nutritional and/or pharmaceutical fields, as well as in winemaking to protect the wine against oxidation, therefore preserving the wine quality, color and aromas, and as an alternative to ageing of wine on lees.

Provided herein are genetically modified yeast cells that recombinantly express a glycosidase enzyme. Provided herein are genetically modified yeast cells that recombinantly express a glycosidase enzyme and/or an O-methyltransferase enzyme. Also provided are methods of producing fermented beverages and compositions comprising ethanol using the genetically modified yeast cells described herein.

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to extracting the liquid from a container (such as a bottle of wine) in varying amounts at a desired serving temperature while preserving the liquid for later consumption. Various embodiments may be built within an appliance so the consumer experience is fully automated. Embodiments may include a variety of wine preservation techniques including the use of inert gases that prevent the oxidation of wine.
