Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to your most common questions about WineStation® Dispensing Systems For Home
WineStation® Basics
What is a WineStation?
WineStation is an intelligent wine preservation and dispensing system. It allows you to preserve and dispense up to four open bottles of wine at the ideal temperature, while maintaining winery-fresh taste for up to 60 days. Whether you’re enjoying a single glass after dinner or entertaining guests, WineStation lets you explore multiple wines without worrying about spoilage.
How does WineStation keep wine fresh?
WineStation uses food-grade argon gas to replace oxygen in the bottle after each pour. This preservation process protects the wine from oxidation while the system maintains ideal serving temperatures. The result is fresh-tasting wine for up to 60 days after opening.
How many bottles can WineStation hold?
Each WineStation holds four standard wine bottles at a time.
Why is WineStation better than traditional wine preservation methods?
Unlike manual preservation systems that rely on pumps or temporary seals, WineStation automatically preserves your wine after every pour. Its patented Clean-Pour® technology dispenses wine directly from the bottle, helping maintain flavor integrity and freshness without complicated maintenance.
Serving & Enjoying Wine
Can I dispense different pour sizes?
Yes. WineStation allows you to program multiple pour sizes so you can enjoy a taste, half glass, or full glass depending on your preference.
Does WineStation serve wine at the correct temperature?
Yes. WineStation features temperature control to help maintain ideal serving conditions for your wines.
Can I store both red and white wines in the same unit?

Is WineStation only for serious wine collectors?
Not at all. WineStation is ideal for anyone who enjoys wine. Casual wine drinkers appreciate eliminating waste, while collectors enjoy the freedom to open and sample multiple bottles without worrying about spoilage.
