Responsible drinking. You are probably asking to yourself, how is a wine preservation going to help you with that? Consider this, in the early 2000's a significant number of states began to adopt new or revised laws for taking bottles of wine out of restaurants. It made it legal, depending on the state (with some possible specifics for each state), for consumers to take an open bottle home to enjoy later. (Link to all state laws) It was recognized that by not allowing consumers to do so, when they had an open bottle paid for in the restaurants, the last thing they wanted to do was leave any of it behind.
