Systems and techniques for enhancing packaged beverages

A cartridge for releasing at least one remediating component into a packaged beverage, the cartridge comprising:

• a cylindrical body having a top end and a bottom end, the cylindrical body comprising:
• an outer wall extending from the bottom end towards the top end;
• an inner wall extending from the bottom end towards the top end, wherein:
• the inner wall forms an inner chamber and an outer chamber;
• and
• the outer chamber comprises an annulus space circumferentially about the inner chamber,
• a bottom wall forming a bottom surface of the inner chamber and the outer chamber, wherein the bottom end comprises the bottom wall, wherein:
• the inner chamber comprises an opening at the top end;
• and
• the outer chamber comprises an annulus opening at the top end;
• a cap configured to releasably secure to the top end of the cylindrical body, the cap comprising:
• a first side and a second side, wherein the second side is approximately orthogonal to the first side, each of the first side and the second side comprising an interior surface opposing an exterior surface, wherein:
• the second side comprises an attachment surface;
• and
• when the cap is releasably secured to the top end, the attachment surface releasably attaches the cap to the outer wall of the cylindrical body and the inner chamber is isolated from an environment exterior to the cartridge;
• and
• a pinhole orifice extending between the interior surface and the exterior surface of the first side, wherein the pinhole orifice comprises a restricted cross-sectional area forming a channel between the outer chamber and the environment exterior to the cartridge, wherein the restricted cross-sectional area of the pinhole orifice is dimensioned to:
• permit ingress of gas dissolved in the packaged beverage into the outer chamber until a pressure equilibrium is achieved between the outer chamber and the packaged beverage;
• and
• restrict outflow of the gas from the outer chamber until the packaged beverage is opened such that volumetric expansion of the gas within the outer chamber promotes decoupling of the cap from the cylindrical body.
