Founded by a Sommelier
Argon Wine Systems LLC was founded in 2015 by Kim Oshiro, DipWSET and Stage 3 Master of Wine Candidate. Kim is an experienced sommelier with a unique background in welding and fabrication.
Kim developed the Bottle Thief system out of necessity while working as a sales representative for a wine importer and distributor, combining expertise in inert gases with extensive knowledge of wine preservation.
Following more than ten years of design improvements, the Bottle Thief is used in over 30 countries.
