Everwine Wine Preservation System Review

The Everwine Wine Preservation System is one of the more unique wine accessories we have tested at home. It uses an inflatable bladder inside the bottle to help remove air, preserve the wine, and create pressure so the wine can be poured through an aerator. It took us a little time to figure out, but once it was installed, the difference in aroma was immediately noticeable.

Everwine Preservation System at a Glance

A Different Kind of Wine Preservation System

The Everwine system is different from most wine preservation tools we have seen. Instead of simply pumping air out of the bottle or replacing oxygen with gas, this system uses a bladder that goes inside the wine bottle.

Once the system is installed, you inflate the bladder. That helps reduce the amount of air left inside the bottle and also creates pressure, which allows the wine to pour out through the system. As the wine pours, it also passes through an aerator.

The idea is interesting because it combines two things wine drinkers often care about: preserving an open bottle and improving the drinking experience through aeration.

We Needed the Video to Get It Installed Correctly

The box included a link to the Everwine website, where they have a video showing how to install the system. We definitely needed the video the first time we used it.

The setup was not impossible, but it was not completely intuitive either. We ended up spilling a little wine while figuring it out. To be fair, that was more our fault for not following the directions closely enough than a problem with the product itself.

Once we got it installed, the system was much easier to use. I would just recommend watching the installation video carefully the first time instead of trying to wing it.

The Aerated Pour Made a Huge Difference in Aroma

After getting the system installed, we poured ourselves a few glasses of wine. The first thing we noticed was how intense the aroma became when the wine was poured through the aerator.

We tested this by pouring one glass through the Everwine system and comparing it to a glass of the same wine that we had poured before installing the system. The difference was obvious.

The glass poured without the system seemed like it had almost no fragrance compared to the aerated glass. The wine poured through the system was almost foamy at first, and it made the aromas and notes much easier to smell.

That was probably the most impressive part of the product for us. We expected preservation to be the main benefit, but the aeration effect was the thing we noticed immediately.

The Wine Was Still Good After 8 Days

We also tested the preservation side by storing a bottle of wine with the Everwine system installed. After 8 days, the wine was still drinking well.

That was a good result for our at-home test. According to Everwine, the system can preserve an open bottle for months, but we have not personally tested it for that long yet.

Next time, I would like to test it over a longer period to see how the wine holds up after several weeks or more. For now, I can say that it worked well for the 8-day test we actually completed.

What We Liked and What We Did Not

Who Is the Everwine System Best For?

I think the Everwine Preservation System makes the most sense for people who regularly open a bottle but do not finish it the same night. It is also useful if you care about aroma and like the idea of aerating wine as you pour.

Watch the Setup Video Before Installing It

The setup video was helpful for us, and I would recommend watching it carefully before installing the system for the first time.

A Unique Wine Preservation Tool With a Real Aeration Benefit

The Everwine Preservation System took some effort to set up the first time, but once we figured it out, it was easy to use and made a noticeable difference in the wine’s aroma. Our 8-day preservation test also went well. The system is not perfect, especially since the first and last glass do not pour through the aerator, but it is a wine accessory I would keep testing and using.

Real Wine Accessory Reviews From At-Home Testing

My wine accessory reviews are based on actually using the product at home, not just repeating what the product claims to do. I focus on how easy it is to use, what worked well, what was frustrating, and whether the product made wine more enjoyable.

For the Everwine Preservation System, the biggest takeaways were the stronger aromas from the aerated pour, the successful 8-day preservation test, the learning curve during setup, and the limitation that the first and last glass do not pour through the aerator.
