I've got this product. Only question I have is, besides the fancy printing on the sides and the position of the spout (and a slightly more crinkly feel), is there anything different about the tech of the PlatyPreserve compared to a regular Platy bottle?

Yes! The darker color of the package helps to block out UV rays and the shape makes it easier to dispel the air. The material is the same as the regular Platypus (giving it it's unique ability to preserve wine) and it really works! Just let all the air out by opening up the lid and folding over the top portion of the bottle, then replace the lid. It is the cheapest alternative to preserving an open bottle of wine currently on the market. At the Outdoor Retailer Show, Platypus had a taste test using a freshly opened bottle and one that had been 'preserved' in the Platypus Preserve for a month. Everyone who tried both couldn't tell the difference! It absolutely worked.
