40% alcohol leaves 0% subject to change through aging and degradation.

A recorked bottle traps air, thereby providing the oxygen necessary to degrade the taste, aroma, and flavor of your aged spirit. The air we breathe is comprised mainly of nitrogen (78%) and oxygen (21%) with a few other gases like argon and carbon dioxide. Oxygen can be very reactive. Once a bottle of aged spirit is opened the headspace (open space between the spirit and the cork) of the bottle is then filled with air. The trapped oxygen can now react with the taste and aroma components of the aged spirit; thereby, significantly altering the spirit’s flavor profile. In order to ensure your optimum spirit experience, it is important to reduce the oxygen level within the bottle when stored for extended periods of time.

Once the Spirit Shield is in place, it goes to work slowly removing oxygen from the bottle. Every time the bottle is opened it refills with air/oxygen. Therefore, the Spirit Shield must be reinserted in order to preserve the spirit through the natural reaction occurring within the bottle. It is easy to see this reaction working within the inserted cartridge through its color change from gray to brown. This color change indicates oxygen is being removed. Once the cartridge is fully brown, it is time to push the used cartridge out of the cork and insert a new one. Relax, leave it, and let The Spirit Shield preserve your spirit.

Each cartridge should treat at least 1 bottle of aged spirits which has been opened multiple times. However, depending on how many times the bottle has been opened, a single cartridge may last for more than 1 bottle.
