A system for conserving oxygen and other gasses supplied to a recipient. A supply conduit supplies gas from a source to a reservoir, which retains a volume of gas at ambient pressure. A conduit supplies gas from the reservoir to the recipient, and an inflation detection system detects when the reservoir is below a state of inflation and when the reservoir is inflated to the state of inflation. A valve system prevents gas from flowing from the source and into the reservoir when the reservoir is at the predetermined state of inflation, and the valve system permits gas to flow from the source and into the reservoir when the reservoir is below the predetermined state of inflation whereby gas within the reservoir can be continually replenished without pressurization above ambient pressure. The inflation detection system can be an electro-mechanical system. Alternatively, the inflation detection system can be a contactless system.

A liquor quality optimization device includes a main body defining a receiving chamber having an inlet portion and an outlet portion; an adaptor head coupled to the inlet portion of the main body for attachment to a liquor container, having a fluid passage in communication with the receiving chamber of the main body and an air passage in communication between the fluid passage and an exterior of the adaptor head; and a liquor molecular refinement structure disposed within the receiving chamber in the main body, having properties to cut and refine macromolecules in liquor into small molecules, thereby accelerating conversion of ingredients in the liquor which affects the taste, and decanting new brewed liquor as aged liquor in taste in addition to filtering sediments in liquor to enhance the taste of liquor.

A method and device for producing high quality alcohol beverages, including liquor, cordial, tincture, whiskey, cognac, brandy, vodka, rum, gin, wine, cocktail, etc., is based on the action of hydrodynamic cavitation treatment of components of alcohol beverages. The fluid flow moves at a high rate through a multi-stage blending hydrodynamic device and multi-stage cavitation device to generate hydrodynamic cavitation features in the fluid flow. The cavitation features generate changes in the velocity, pressure, temperature, chemical composition and physical properties of the liquid. Hydrodynamic cavitation processing provides effective blending of components and homogenization of alcoholic beverage, improves its organoleptic qualities.

A maturation container and method of maturing spirits that incorporates a polymeric material (10) into a wall of the container. The material (10) is preferably Polylactic Acid (PLA) which has known oxygen permeation properties suited to maturation but is substantially impermeable to ethanol. Use of such a material is proposed to supplement or replace traditional wooden barrel methods of storage.

A closure for a container. The closure includes a carbon dioxide emitter, and a release rate control layer that is configured to control release of carbon dioxide from the carbon dioxide emitter into the container when the closure is coupled to the container.

A wine preservation system comprises of a stopper for inserting into a wine bottle to seal the contents of the wine bottle. A trigger assembly is selectively attached to the stopper to open the stopper for simultaneously replacing wine from the wine bottle with gas. A refillable source is combinable with the trigger assembly for supplying the gas.
