Review of Pek Supremo Wine Preserver, Silver

A great idea executed poorly.

The unit is not a capable of cooling more than a few degrees below room temperature. We live in California and daytime summer room temperature when we are not home is 85°F. Wine is cooled to about 75°F, even when set on the coldest setting.

Temperature setting is wildly inaccurate, off by more that 10°F.

The unit puts out a LOT of heat under the unit, enough to heat the counter to 120°F. Bad design to heat the area below the unit as that heat is radiated up into the unit.

The power supply gets very hot, hotter than is good design.

The gas canister does not seal very well as it emptied in about a week with no bottle in the unit.

The bright LED to illuminate the bottle is silly. Light is an enemy of wine. The fans are quite noisy, too noisy to place the unit near a dinner party.

First unit died after a few days.
Replacement unit did not cool. Returned.

Product Description:
Introducing The Pek Wine Steward - the only product designed for consumers to incorporate the design engineering and technology that provides the kind of superior wine preservation and temperature control capabilities previously available only from professional grade wine cabinets. Wine oxidizes when exposed to air, causing a distinctive sherry-like off-odor and brownish tint that is increasingly recognizable with wine consumption experience. When wine tannins are oxidized, hydrogen peroxide is produced which subsequently oxidizes ethanol into acetaldehyde - the principal compound producing the oxidized odor and masking the wine's fragrance. On opening a bottle, acetaldehyde generation can be detected within as little as two to eight hours, depending on varietal, age, amount of wine contact with air, temperature, etc. White wines and older reds are particularly susceptible to oxidation damage. The biggest factor in oxidation is the amount of wine surface contact with air following opening and pouring. Therefore, wine preservation products that are most effective at reducing air contact with the wine surface will best reduce oxidation. The Wine Steward is the first device ever to truly extend the life of an open bottle of wine and ensure the wine is served at the precise temperature for the perfect flavor-considering different wines require different temperatures for just the right taste. It's the taste of wine that's important to wine lovers, and the Wine Steward is all about taste. A revelation to the wine lover, and indispensable to the connoisseur... the Wine Steward is an essential purchase, and the perfect gift.
