Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to extracting the liquid from a container (such as a bottle of wine) using a needle adapted to pierce the closure of a container of liquid, dispense liquid from the container, and supply an inert gas to the container to help preserve the liquid.

A method for obtaining a beverage, comprising the steps of: a. providing a first single-serve container comprising a malt based beverage concentrate characterized in that said concentrate is in a liquid state, has a viscosity of maximally 40.10.sup.3 mPa.Math.s a real extract density of at least 2.6 P and an alcohol content of at least 1 vol %; b. Providing a second single-serve container containing an ethanol solution having an ethanol concentration of 80 vol % or more; c. Providing a liquid diluent source; d. Mixing a portion of the diluent source with the content of the second single-serve container, to obtain an intermediate liquid mixture having an alcohol content of 30 vol % or less; e. Mixing the content of the first single-serve container with said intermediate liquid mixture and potentially an additional amount of the liquid diluent to obtain a beverage.

The invention relates to a beverage bubbler (1) and a pressure vessel (2) for a gas for use in a beverage bubbler (1). According to the invention, the pressure vessel (2) or/and the beverage bubbler (1) has a flavor storage unit (4) which is designed to hold a flavor and to introduce the flavor into a gas which is intended for introduction into a beverage to be bubbled, or into the beverage.

A water dispensing device, including: a coupling to attach a water supply source to a structured water generator that receives the water and is configured to output structured water, the structured water generator including: a motor, a vortex generator configured to rotate at a speed; a reactor coupled to the structured water generator and the water supply source; a gas supply configured to provide one or more gases; a magnetizer coupled to the structured water generator, the magnetizer being configured to receive the structured water and to generate a magnetic field within the magnetizer to align the structured water in a direction by one or more magnets generating an electromagnetic field in a conductive material that produces magnetization by induction; and a dispenser coupled to the magnetizer, the dispenser being configured to dispense the structured water received from the magnetizer. Also provided are methods of producing a structured water.

A dispenser of nitrogen gas infused cold brew beverages includes a product container, a nitrogenator, a mixing unit, and a dispensing unit. The nitrogenator receives water from a water source and nitrogen gas from a nitrogen gas source and infuses the nitrogen gas into the water to produce nitrogen gas infused water. The mixing unit receives product from a product container and nitrogen gas infused water from the nitrogenator. The mixing unit combines the product and the nitrogen gas infused water to induce a mixing thereof that creates a nitrogen gas infused beverage. The dispensing unit receives nitrogen gas infused beverage from the mixing unit. The dispensing unit chills the nitrogen gas infused beverage to produce a nitrogen gas infused cold brew beverage for dispensing therefrom.

A pressurized gas container associates with and supplies gas to a pressurized gas port of an appliance, such as for supplying carbon dioxide for the preparation of a carbonated drink. The container has a plug at its opening that has a barrier element that seals the container and is configured to be non-reversibly ruptured by a shaft of a gas-channeling member. The plug also has one or more sealing elements that are distinct from the barrier element and are configured for forming a gas-tight association with the shaft of the gas-channeling member. A plurality of such pressurized containers may be carried by a holder rack in a multipack. An appliance adapted for preparing or dispensing carbonated drink includes an adapter for associating with such a pressurized carbon dioxide-containing canister and for receiving the pressurized carbon dioxide therefrom.

Adapters are provided for use with a beverage dispenser. The adapter can include an adapter base, first and second fluid ports disposed on the base, and at least one anchor to secure the adapter base to a beverage dispenser. The first fluid port can receive a first fluid from a first direction therethrough, and the second fluid port can receive a second fluid from a second direction therethrough.
