Wine storage and preservation cabinet

A device for the storage of multiple bottles of wine including an opened wine container therein comprising an air purging station for the introduction of inert, heavier then air gas to said open wine container and an actuator for selectively introducing said heavier than air inert gas to said open wine container, said device comprising a cabinet having a top, bottom, sides and a back creating a space for housing a plurality of wine containers in an upright orientation, said open wine contain being positioned at said purging station, said purging station comprising a poppet valve assembly including a valve body for insertion within an opening in said open wine container and biased to enable said device to accommodate open wine containers of varying sizes, a pressurized source of heavier-than-air inert gas located within said housing, a regulator for reducing the pressure of said inert gas from a first pressure at said pressurized source of heavier-than-air inert gas to a second pressure that passes through a low pass port within said poppet valve assembly, said poppet valve assembly comprising a valve body, a low pass port, a spring-loaded check ball being spring biased to close said low pass port, a shuttle slidable within said valve body and orifice wherein said spring loaded check ball is biased to close said low pass port to facilitate increasing pressure within said low pass port until said pressure is sufficient to cause said shuttle to rise upwards within said valve body thus being displaced from said open wine container whereupon as said shuttle rises, air contained within said open wine container is freed to exit proximate the bottle top while increasing pressure in said low pass port unseats said check ball from blocking said low pass port within said shuttle for enabling the heavier-than-air inert gas to enter said wine container displacing air that had been in said bottle and upon interrupting the flow of said heavier-than-air inert gas, forcing said shuttle by spring bias against said open wine container sealing said open wine container to substantially prevent said heavier-than-air inert gas from escaping therefrom.
