Claims12
A carbon dioxide and nitrogen-infused wine product comprising:
- wine infused with both carbon dioxide and nitrogen;
- wherein a ratio of carbon dioxide to nitrogen in said wine product is within a predetermined range, wherein the ratio of the carbon dioxide is larger than the ratio of the nitrogen in the predetermined range, and
- further wherein the wine product is under a pressure of between 35-50 psi, of which 15-25 psi of the pressure is attributable to the CO2 and a remainder of the pressure is attributable to the N2.
A wine product made by the process of:
- infusing wine with carbon dioxide to generate carbon dioxide-infused wine having a pressure of between 15-30 psi;
- infusing the carbon dioxide-infused-infused wine with nitrogen to generate a carbon-dioxide and nitrogen-infused wine having a pressure of 35-50 psi,
- wherein a ratio of carbon dioxide to nitrogen in said carbon-dioxide and nitrogen-infused wine is within a predetermined range, wherein the ratio of the carbon dioxide is larger than the ratio of the nitrogen in the predetermined range.
