Have you ever paused before opening a nice bottle of wine because you know that if you can’t finish it, the rest of the bottle is going to go to waste?

Especially for those who like to limit it to a glass of wine per night, stopping the quick depreciation of taste is a game we are predetermined to lose.

But after 15 years of research and one successful Kickstarter campaign, that might not need to be the case. The Savino Wine Saving Carafe is an innovative glass cruet designed to drastically slow the oxidization of wine, keeping the half of the bottle you couldn't finish fresh for the next seven or so days.

It's a kitchen hack we should all have — a serving carafe that can double the shelf life of your wine.

Pour your choice into the carafe, pop in the "float" to seal the wine in, and the same "float" will automatically unseal when you tilt the carafe to pour. Per the design, the float creates a physical barrier between the wine you want to preserve and the air that wants to oxidize it, thereby keeping the wine fresh. And you don’t have to pop it in and out as you use the carafe, since it'll move naturally in the liquid to accommodate you. When you’re done pouring, the float will automatically reseal.

So instead of letting a $40 bottle of wine taste like a weird $9 bottle three days later, the Savino will maintain taste for you for up to a week. You can use your dishwasher to clean it, and the entire product is made out of high-quality, durable glass and BPA-free plastic and silicone, so you don’t have to worry about anything else you’re putting in your wine.

In the long run, $43 isn’t such a bad price to pay to stretch your wine further — or even to avoid the nuisance of having to worry over a short shelf life.
