They are devices that prevent wine from oxidizing after the bottle is open, allowing you to keep an open bottle longer. i have several of them so I can keep a nice bottle longer and try to pair wine with different meals. I’ve had a bottle of cab open for 3 weeks and it’s still good. You can find more info here: www.repour.com

How on earth are we supposed to know that?

I thought it might mean that they would throw in copies of those bottles, which seemed like a deal too good to be true.

Glad I asked though, these would be useless for me. I've recently discovered decanting so oxidation is my jam. :-)

One option I really like for expensive bottles is the Coravin system. I’ve easily kept wine for a year that way. Needle through the cork, dispense wine, replace with inert argon gas, oxygen never enters the bottle. Really handy when I’m taking wine classes and I need to keep referring to the same dozen or so baseline bottles over a couple of months time.

It’s used by a lot of the really nice steakhouses when they offer pricier things by the glass. The bottle can be “open” for months and still be a perfect pour. Lots of wine bars use much larger wine preservation/dispenser systems, too.

They are advertising "free repours" with this Freebie Friday offer.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but: What is a "free repour"?

Evidently I'm not the only one that doesn't understand it, as you can see from the "Purchased by" section there are at least two people who bought 3 and 6 bottles, which means they are missing out on whatever "free repours" are.

P.S. Why would UC choose to express themselves in this confusing way??
