Savino: The Perfect Plastic Wine Preservation System to Pack for a Picnic

savino_plasticSavino was one of the largest wine related projects in the history of Kickstarter and is manufactured in the USA from the highest quality materials to provide every wine lover the ability to enjoy great tasting wine, every day, for years to come.

It all started 15 years ago, when creator Scott Tavenner opened his refrigerator to find a glass of wine sitting on the top shelf. Asking his wife about the glass, she responded, “I wanted to save the wine for later.” This simple statement sparked a journey which led him to try almost every wine preservation system available. Years of disappointment with available products led Tavenner to develop an innovative solution to this common problem – Savino.

Unlike other wine preservation solutions on the market, Savino does not try to control the environment of an opened bottle of wine. Instead, it creates a new, beautiful environment designed to preserve and serve wine. Savino started with a simple premise – great products begin with a great experience. Savino centers its experience on a product that is effective, elegant and easy-to-use.

Savino is now pleased to introduce the new Enthusiast wine preservation system, a more affordable BPA-free Tritan version of Savino. Akin to the original glass Connoisseur Savino, Enthusiast still keeps your wine fresh for up to a week. However the Enthusiast is gently priced at $29.95. It shares the same patented Savino technology, is made in the USA, and is dishwasher safe.

savino_plastic_piecesUnique features to the Enthusiast are its BPA-free Tritan construction that protects wine with a locking lid and is perfect for the outdoors. Savino holds a full 750ml bottle of wine but is shorter than a wine bottle so it easily fits in your refrigerator. It is elegantly designed to look great in the kitchen and on the dining table as well.

Simply open a great bottle of wine and enjoy a glass. Then, pour the remaining wine into Savino, insert the float to create a physical barrier between the wine and the oxygen and place the top on the carafe to prevent any accidental spills. You can open a great bottle of wine on Tuesday, and know that the following week you can enjoy the same bottle of wine. When you’re ready to have more wine, remove the top and pour yourself another great tasting glass of wine as you watch the float automatically adjust as you seamlessly move from storing to pouring your wine.

Ideal for gift giving, the Savino is an extremely easy to use wine preservation system that allows you to confidently open any bottle of wine wherever the night may lead, and will still be able to enjoy the fresh flavor all week long.

Cooks Innovations Launches the Deep Fryer Filter, a Healthier Way to Fry Food at Home

DeepFryerFilterCooks Innovations™, an IMCG, Inc. brand, announced today the launch of its Deep Fryer Filter, providing a healthier way for families to prepare deep-fried food while keeping frying oil clean three times longer.

“The Deep Fryer Filter’s woven mesh technology provides an exciting, healthier alternative to the usual practice of frying foods at home,” said Peter Vander Stichele, President. “More than 7 million deep fryers are sold annually to American families. As we move toward a healthier consciousness in our country, the Deep Fryer Filter allows families to have their fried chicken, tempura, French fries, and spring rolls while keeping the frying oil fresher and cleaner for longer.”

It’s not necessary to settle for unhealthy, burnt residue at the bottom of the deep fryer. Home cooks can simply cut the filter to the fryer’s basket size and fry their favorite tater tots or shrimp as usual. The non-stick Deep Fryer Filter catches residue and crumbs and can be cleaned in the dishwasher after use.

The Deep Fryer Filter fits easily into any rectangular, deep fryer basket and is reusable 1,000 times. The suggested retail price is $7.99.

The Deep Fryer Filter joins the Cooks Innovations line of creative problem solvers for the home and kitchen, such as the patented, 2015 IHA Innovation award-winning Butter Mill, the SimmerMat, and the Fridge Monkey.
