I've been thinking of kegging my wine. A lot of threads I've read here say Nitrogen or Argon are best things to use, because CO2 will carbonate your wine. It totally makes to sense to me and I was about to buy a Nitrogen tank.
Then I found this article:

I'll paraphrase it. Micromatic, who I've always considered smart and reliable, suggests that Beer Gas is the gas of choice, because all wine has some CO2 in it, and it's absence makes the wine taste wrong.
I realize the PSI is low, so I can imagine the carbonation being low- maybe not even noticeable. I'm curious what more experienced wine guys think.
If I use Beer Gas, I could also use it for Stouts. If I run Nitrogen only, it has no other use. Any advice or thoughts on the linked article are appreciated.
