We recommend against that practice. Chill your wine and Qikvin prior to serving.
If you pushed the piston up around the perimeter instead of directly in the middle, the piston might just become a little catawampus. Rotate the QikVin 90° to either the left or the right and grab hold of it again and pour. Just that slight adjustment should overcome a minor misalignment.
Just push in the middle of the piston.
Anything is breakable at some point. With normal use, the QikVin will not break. If it is full and dropped on a ceramic tile floor…let’s just say we cannot guarantee it will not break.
Yes that would be fine.
Look at the piston and determine if you can see if one side is higher than another. Simply push up from the bottom again on the side that is the lowest.
Yes. The QikVin will function fine without. The piston protector is there in case someone was to pour their wine into the QikVin and not have it standing on a solid surface. In this case, the piston will sink to the bottom of the body and fall out. It is easy to solve this problem. If you want to hold the body while pouring the wine in, just keep your baby finger under the bottom of the bottle. This simple action will stop the piston from falling out until you have the lid back on. Once the lid is in place and the air has been pushed out by pushing up on the piston, it can no longer fall out. Remember, we are working with simple gravity. Gravity can work for you or against you in this case. Once you have seen the piston in action it will all make sense. We do strongly recommend using the safety boot.
After every use.
It is not necessary to remove the seals for washing. If you decide to take them off for periodic cleaning, remember how you took them off as they are directional. The V-Rings both must face the same direction on the piston.
We recommend drying the QikVin with a soft cloth to prevent water marks.
Yes but only on the top rack.

Yes, but only at the time of ordering. There is a surcharge for putting personalized information on the QikVin. Please inquire about the additional charges and shipping schedule. Personalizing the QikVin in large quantities is cost-effective compared to ordering only a few units.
It is pewter.
Eastman Tritan, the same plastic that most water bottles are made of.
No, there is no functional difference.
No. Carbonated beverages will be able to overpower the seals on the side of the piston and make the QikVin leak.
Yes.
They can be used if you want to pour serving sizes consistently. The scale can be read in either ounces or milliliters.
Yes. Special shipping and handling charges will apply.
Yes. We are always willing to work with someone who is able to bring our product to market.
Sometimes it is just not possible to finish all the wine that gets opened. What a waste to be dumping it down the drain. Stop wasting wine by preserving it in a QikVin.
