Murat Eskicioglu, SMG Savor General Manager for the Moscone Convention Center further noted, "at Moscone, we have been further impressed by the control that WineStation delivers from an operational perspective. WineStation's design, its Clean-Pour Dispensing System, that we've combined with food grade argon gas is allowing us to preserve and assure the taste and freshness our guests have come to expect from a just opened bottle of wine, while at the same time helping SMG eliminate over pouring or discarding wine due to spoilage�."
