What if you lost your marbles? I think that's a given, due to how certain non-inert gases have been brought up. One spark, and there go not only all your marbles, but their former "container" too.
Don't know how safe it is for wine but works fine for chems and varnishes it's a little spendy and the can doesn't last very long -

There are also other blanketing gasses in a can that are not nitrogen, I don't know how compatible they would be for photo chems, I use it for
urethane rubbers and resins - https://polytek.com/products/polypurge-dry-aerosol-gas

On my budget, holding my breath wins, hands-down. As for the $12 for Bloxygen, as I usually remark only regarding items or services costing above $1,000, "That's a good bottle of wine!"

I bought a box of 500 ml brown bottles from the Formulary, mix up 5000 ml of Xtol type developer on a stirrer, fill the ten bottles up evenly then if there is any space at the top I add distilled water to each bottle. It’s never more than 10 or 15 ml in each bottle and the solution lasted for way longer than it should with no degradation.
