Is a wine preserver patented?

Short answer: specific designs of a wine preserver have been patented many times, but "a wine preserver" as a general idea is not what is protected. What matters is the exact combination of features in your version.

What our index shows
  • 84 US and WO patent publications since 2000 have a title matching “wine preserver” or a close variant (our index of 9.7 million patent families; one publication per family).
  • Among the 84 best keyword matches we examined, 20 were published in 2020 or later, and the earliest was published in 2000.
  • Most frequent assignees in those matches: SUNLOT BOTTLE STOPPER CO LTD (3), VINUM CORP (2), DUCKWORTH DAVID GLENN (2), HEAD MICHAEL S (2).
  • Most common patent classes (CPC subclasses): B65D (62), C12H (11), B67B (10), B67D (9).

Counts come from keyword matching on titles and abstracts, so they are indicative, not a legal count. Some matches are different products that share a word.

What this means for your idea

Because patents cover specific combinations of features, the useful question is not “has a wine preserver been patented?” but “has my combination of features been described before?” Wine preservation covers vacuum, inert gas, and barrier methods; the mechanism for displacing air is the key feature.
