CCL Container, Silvadore Brands launch aerosol wine preservation product
Using CCL’s aluminium aerosol containers, Silvadore Wine Essentials preserves a wine’s flavour and integrity long after the bottle has been opened. The product uses food-grade argon gas as a preservation agent.
By dispensing two sprays from the container’s press-top actuator into an open wine bottle, the argon gas rests on top of the remaining wine, serving as a barrier that prevents oxidation. This colourless, tasteless barrier maintains the wine’s original freshness and flavour for up to two weeks after uncorking.
“Consumers are drawn to the simplicity and effectiveness of this aerosol solution,” said Kimberly Kizer, vice president of sales for CCL.
“Our aluminium container is both highly functional and distinctively attractive, helping Silvadore distinguish its brand and unique product in the increasingly competitive wine industry.
The companies noted this product presents a more convenient and affordable alternative to other wine preservation systems that often involve expensive, bulky components. With wholesale pricing available, Wine Essentials is also partnering with wineries, restaurants and other venues, allowing these businesses to freely open more bottles while reducing overall waste.
The product is packaged in a sleek, contoured brushed aluminium aerosol bottle that holds 0.3 ounces of argon gas, which is enough for approximately 50 uses. CCL has used its body shaping technology to create a contoured neck that allows for improved grip and handling.
High-end decorating gives the containers a premium look and feel. Additionally, the lightweight, transportable aluminium construction makes Wine Essentials ideal for using on the go or outdoors. Like all of CCL’s 100% virgin aluminium containers, the Wine Essentials bottles are fully recyclable.
