Whether you consider yourself a backpacker who enjoys a little wine or a wine lover who carries a backpack, both sides will appreciate the PlatyPreserve wine preservation system from Platypus (MSRP: $13).
Weighing in at less than an ounce, this collapsible container is just right for a standard 750-milliliter bottle of wine and designed to protect it from breaking and from going bad in the backcountry. Simply transfer any unfinished wine into the airtight reservoir to preserve the taste for as long as a few weeks.
The BPA-free bags are opaque to offer a bit of UV protection and truly don’t transfer the taste of plastic to your favorite vintage. The flexible reservoir packs safely almost anywhere, while an angled pour spout makes it easy to enjoy every last drop.
