    Plum: Premier In-Home Wine Dispenser

    We all have our reasons for breaking out that special bottle of wine. Perhaps you’re celebrating a birthday, a delicious home-cooked meal, or even a date night. Whatever the occasion, your wine collection should be cherished. During this time of social distancing, it’s especially important to be able to enjoy a glass without pouring wine down the drain.

    Perhaps you want to have a taste of that fancy vintage you were gifted for the holidays. But you hold off because it never tastes the same leftover, especially after sloshing around in your fridge for a few days. We all have those bottles waiting for the special occasion that never comes. You can savor that treasured Bordeaux over a few weeks. With Plum, you don’t have to drink the whole bottle in one sitting.

    With the Plum, you can put any two bottles on tap and serve as much or as little as you want. The system is fully automated, eliminating guesswork from the preservation process. Plum automatically identifies the vintage, varietal, region, and wine connecting to rich content that lets you step into the tasting room without leaving your home. It can identify up to  220 varietals. Wine tastes best at the right temperature. Plum maximizes the flavor of your wine by serving every glass at its varietal ideal temperature. A 7-inch touch screen display makes it easy to adjust the settings and customize your experience. 

    benefits of plum

    Plum brings the winery experience home. It works with any standard 750ml bottle of wine with any closure, including natural cork, engineered cork, and metal screw caps. The interior stainless steel tubing is modeled after those found in wineries to preserve the integrity of the wine. Its two individual cooling chambers so you can store a red selection and a white selection at the perfect temperature. Its two silent cooling chambers are automatically set to the perfect serving temperature for each varietal, so you can enjoy Chardonnay at 48° and Cabernet at 66°. 

    There’s a better way to savor your favorite vintages and enjoy a perfect pour every time. Plum preserves wine for 90 days at the exact temperature the winemaker intended. Whereas, an open bottle of wine will stay “fresh” in your fridge for 2-3 days. With Plum, a motorized needle pierces the foil and closure preserving your wine with argon gas. Each refillable argon canister has enough gas to preserve up to 150 bottles lasting most households over 2 years. 

    Plum is a perfect complement to your wet bar, dining area, or entertainment space. Plum is a countertop appliance that can also be built into your cabinetry. Many of our clients love the built-in look. Plum’s brushed stainless steel shell gives it a timeless look, complements other appliances, and works well with any room design. Designed with classic winemaking and modern aesthetics in mind, Plum looks as great as it performs.

    plum vs wine

    What is the difference between a Plum preserver and a wine refrigerator? 

    A wine refrigerator is built to store many unopened bottles over a long period of time. Plum is designed to preserve wines once they have been opened for up to 90 days. Serious wine enthusiasts will want both a wine dispenser and a wine fridge as they each serve different roles. Many of the best wine refrigerators are built with multiple zones so you can store reds, whites, and sparkling at an ideal temperature. If you are a wine collector, a wine fridge is a cost-effective alternative to building a cellar. A Plum preserver is a great compliment to your wine refrigerator or cellar as it is designed to preserve wines after you pop the cork.
