If you do any testing, it should all be done fairly close to the time the bottles are opened. From my studies, the inert gas approach seems to be the better choice IMHO. Studies with wine have shown that the inert gasses double the life of a wine over a vacuum system. How is the inert gas dispensed into the opened bottle? The model of wine vacuum that I showed before is about $80 I think. Nature abhors a vacuum. That sucks.
