The wine industry is a complex one, full of varying opinions, perceptions and interests. But certainly anyone working in wine can agree that waste is a real issue. Too many bottles emptied in the sink, too much to taste in too little time. Or maybe a bottle remains tucked away in the cava, aging past its prime because there was never the right moment to drink it all. And so, in a constant effort to make good wine last longer, we see sophisticated wine preservation systems like zzysh® come along.
zzysh® is the latest in Swiss innovation to make preserving still and sparkling wines easier than ever before. In just three to five seconds, this system replaces a bottle’s oxygen with 100% food-grade argon gas, as well as carbon dioxide for sparkling wines, to keep wines fresh for weeks. Countless tests have shown that when using zzysh®, a wine’s color, aroma and taste is just like the day it was opened. And in sparkling wines, this device is also able to preserve those crisp, refreshing bubbles until the next pour.
Sommeliers that have tried zzysh® love that they can use it with nearly any type of wine bottle since the stoppers are designed to adapt to all standard still and sparkling wine bottles. They’re able to show the wine to customers, give the full experience, and then preserve the bottle without worrying about it going bad before the next pour. Screw caps, synthetic corks, real corks, etc., zzysh® works with any special wine worth saving. And with the stoppers taking up less space than a cork stuck back in the bottle, storage isn’t a problem either.
Though its sleek design makes it perfect for at-home wine enjoyment, zzysh® is also used quite a bit for travel and by restaurants seeking to expand their wine-by-the-glass menu or offer exotic and rare finds. In the end, it’s for any person or endeavor looking to savor their wine, eliminating wine waste completely when used properly.
As the wine industry continues to focus on producing and drinking wine more sustainably, having an efficient and effective wine preservation system is increasingly more important. Exact wine waste figures are hard to come by, but in the UK’s case, Laithwaite’s Wine Shop estimates that British drinkers are wasting around 624 million bottles of wine per year. And that’s just one small country. Regarding waste among those working in wine, we can only assume the numbers are just as high, if not higher. We are constantly pouring and tasting. Be it a winery opening bottles for journalists or a major restaurant serving by the glass, too many bottles are going bad before we can finish them.
They always say that life’s too short to drink bad wine, but what about life being too precious to waste good wine? zzysh® is trying to make sure that no good wines get left behind. With a hand piece, a stopper and just five seconds, we can have our great wine and save it too. Again and again.
CLOSE
Seal the opened bottle with the innovative zzysh® Wine Stopper after pouring. No worries, it fits on most types of wine bottles.
PRESERVE
Connect the zzysh® Wine Preserver with the stopper, press it down for 3-5 seconds and release. The oxygen in the bottle is now replaced with 100% food-grade argon gas.

Say cheers! Your wine is perfectly preserved from oxidation and stays fresh for weeks. Again and again.
