About the Inventor
Vinfinity® was invented by Armando Luis, a former mechanical engineer
with over twenty years of experience in wine retailing and the restaurant
industry. As an engineer, he worked with hydraulics in the nuclear and
medical industries for several years before taking over the family’s
small liquor store, Sparrow Wine & Liquor Company, in 1986. The operation
has become one of the leading wine merchants in New Jersey, with two outlets
in Hoboken, across the Hudson River from New York City. Armando opened
his first restaurant in 1995 and a second in 1999, both also in Hoboken.
While shopping for a wine preservation system, it became evident to him
that existing technology had serious practical limitations. Systems on
the market were slow and inefficient, could be expensive to install and
maintain, and were cumbersome to operate; as a result, most seemed to
be used inconsistently, such as at the end of the night, or not at all.
It also became obvious that wine quality and losses were a major issue
with a serious wine-by-the-glass program.
Of the two scientific concepts applicable to wine
preservation, inert gas displacement and vacuum systems, the later was
clearly the simpler, more flexible, less expensive and more reliable of
the two, although the technology available on the market had major shortcomings.
A system having one central vacuum supporting multiple outlets was the
perfect solution. A prototype was built, and after extensive testing and
development, proved itself to be highly effective.
About the Manufacturer
Vinfinity was engineered and is being built under contract by the Pneumadyne
Corporation, a highly respected custom engineering and contract
manufacturer in Minneapolis, MN specializing in high-precision pneumatic
control systems. All components of the system are built and assembled
in the United States to the highest standard of quality.
