Newbie seeks Holiday Gift Advice: Wine Preservation Device or Essences/Aroma Kit?

[mtm]

I'm a novice w/wine & don't drink very much. My hubby loves it, & I've been considering a PEK Wine Preservation system so that he can enjoy better wines w/out feeling like he has to drink them all in such a short time, so that they don't 'spoil.' He does have a VacuVin basic thing. Do you believe this is good enough?

Here's more info on the Pek Preservers...

which I heard about on TV.

One adjusts temp's for you & is more expensive. Not sure if either makes sense? Can one taste the argon gas inserted? Any opinions?

Secondly, in the category of 'splurge-y' gifts...I'm considering a Wine Essences Collection. Will be around a lot of family over the holidays (a fair number wine drinkers, unlike me) so thought giving something like this now might be more fun than just giving to dear hubby when no one around to share it with. :-) Altho' again, we ran across this at a vineyard & even I had a blast trying to figure out the aromas.

There are two sized kits. One just has 12 aromas & is under $70. The other is $110-130 & has 24 'essences'. Thought that would be more challenging but perhaps too difficult to even make use of?

Does anyone here have one of these?

Could really use your opinions since I know so little about wine products.
Thank you so much!! :-)
