Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Repour last?
One Repour has the capacity to absorb the oxygen (which is what causes your wine to go bad) from one 750ml bottle of wine consumed glass-by-glass, and it will keep that open bottle fresh for up to two months.
Can I use Repour on more than one bottle?
One Repour is good for the life of one 750ml bottle of wine, whether it’s poured over the course of a few days or in a few weeks. In between pours, use Repour as a normal stopper. As a rule of thumb, when your bottle is empty, so is Repour.
How does Repour work?
There’s a packet inside the stopper, and material in that packet removes the oxygen in the bottle, keeping it fresh for up to two months.
What’s in the stopper?
There’s a packet inside the stopper, and the ingredients in that packet—all naturally-occurring, FDA food-grade material—remove the oxygen from the bottle. Without oxygen, the wine is able to stay fresh. There are no by-products of this process, and nothing enters the wine.
Can I lay a bottle on its side when it has a Repour in it?
Bottles with Repour in them should be stored upright.
Can Repour be recycled?
Yes. Repour is made of 100% recyclable materials.
Does Repour change the taste or aroma of the wine?
Neither taste nor aroma are affected by Repour's technology. Repour is so effective at removing the oxygen that sometimes a glass of wine stored under Repour will need to open up again to regain that taste and aroma, just like a freshly opened bottle of wine.
What is the shelf life of an unused Repour?
A minimum of two years.
Does Repour work on sparkling wine?
Yes, but the pressure inside the bottle can cause it to pop off the top. We know people who are using it on sparkling wines, but we don't endorse that use due to this risk. We're working on a fixture that will securely hold Repour on a bottle so it can be used with no concern, so stay tuned!
I refrigerate my red wines to stop deterioration. Is that necessary with Repour?
With Repour, refrigeration is not needed to slow deterioration. If you want to refrigerate your wine, go ahead; it will not interfere with Repour's ability to perfectly preserve your wine.
