1. A bottle pressure seal device with environmental data logging, comprising:
a cap configured to fit over an opening of a bottle and further configured to house
at least one battery;
a printed circuit board;
a microcontroller mounted on said printed circuit board coupled with said at least one battery wherein said microcontroller or said printed circuit board comprises memory;
environment sensors that detect environmental data, said environmental sensors comprising
a pressure sensor coupled with said microcontroller;
a temperature sensor coupled with said microcontroller;
a humidity sensor coupled with said microcontroller;
a pressure seal comprising:
a gasket that is configured to engage a neck of a bottle and said cap;
a clamp configured to engage said gasket and said cap and seal atmospheric pressure into a chamber away from a cork in said neck of said bottle, wherein said atmospheric pressure outside of the bottle is sealed and internal pressure of the bottle and the cork are maintained at an initial pressure said bottle and said cork came into equilibrium with at a time when said bottle pressure seal device is placed on said bottle, regardless of the atmospheric pressure outside of said bottle pressure seal device and said bottle, in order to maintain the internal pressure that is exhibited on said cork of said bottle and in order to prevent changes in said internal pressure;
wherein said pressure sensor, said temperature sensor and said humidity sensor are configured to sense pressure level, temperature level and humidity level within said cap between said cap and said pressure seal;
wherein said microcontroller is configured to log said pressure level, said temperature level and said humidity level within said cap, between said cap and said pressure seal, in said memory,
said pressure level, said temperature level, said humidity level and the cork in the bottle are tied directly to said bottle and said bottle pressure seal device.
