Inspiration can strike at the least likely moments. For ZOS Maker Greg Luzaich, it happened one morning when he was cleaning up the aftermath of a party he’d hosted the night before. Six nearly-full wine bottles sat on his counter, slowly going bad. After pouring $200 of wine down the drain, he decided to create a way to preserve open bottles.
Greg spent twelve years in the wine preservation business before launching ZOS, which is based in California’s wine country. The unique stopper-and-cartridge design removes oxygen from open bottles. Fun (or not so fun) fact: exposure to oxygen is what makes wine go bad. Now you can open, seal, and reopen a bottle and enjoy a glass of wine that will taste as good as the first one.
