1. A system for preserving an oxygen sensitive substance contained in a vessel, the system comprising:
a sealing device configured to be removably coupled to the vessel to seal the vessel, the sealing device including—
a top end,
a bottom end opposite from the top end,
a sidewall extending between the top end and the bottom end, and
structure defining a channel extending between the top end and the bottom end; and
a canister containing an oxygen scavenging agent, the canister being removably coupleable to the top end of the sealing device, wherein an interior of the canister containing the oxygen scavenging agent is in fluidic contact with a headspace of the vessel via the channel when the sealing device is coupled to the vessel to scavenge oxygen therefrom.
