The best way to accomplish that is peroxide, which kills all the germs, too. It's also better to use pre-1982, non zinc pennies. (Zinc & copper are synergistic toxins except as alloys [brass, etc...]). They're cheap & work fine. the invention, the Sulfite Solution, a peroxided copper tube, proved unpatentable, but works very well for full bottles of wine & juice, but not bubbly.
