1. A liquid gasification system comprising: a container defining an open section at a top end of said container and a closed section at a bottom end of said container, wherein said container is at least partially filled with a liquid and wherein said top end is positioned above said bottom end of said container when said container is in an upright position;a removable seal enclosing the open section of the container;a gas delivery system comprising: a storage vessel storing a gas therein; andan output portion connected to said storage vessel to deliver the gas from the storage vessel to an interior of the container;wherein said output portion penetrates said seal with said container in the upright position before delivering the gas and wherein said output portion is adapted to be removed from said seal after delivering the gas; andwherein, after removal of said output portion of said gas delivery system from said seal, said seal remains positioned to enclose the open section of said container; anda cap engaging said seal and adapted to engage the container about the open section, said cap defining a hole in a top surface of said cap for receiving said output portion of said gas delivery system. 2. A liquid gasification system according to claim 1, wherein said output portion penetrates said seal through the hole in said cap, and said cap sufficiently engages the container to retain said seal adjacent the open section of the container upon removal of said output portion from said seal. 3. A liquid gasification system according to claim 1, wherein said seal further comprises a one way valve formed when said output portion penetrates said seal, wherein, upon removal of said output portion from said seal, said one way valve closes and said seal continues to enclose an open section of the container. 4. A liquid gasification system according to claim 1, wherein said seal is sufficiently elastomeric to close a puncture formed by removal of said output portion of said gas delivery system from said seal. 5. The liquid gasification system of claim 1, wherein said storage vessel stores the gas in the absence of liquid within the storage vessel. 6. The liquid gasification system of claim 1, wherein a central region of said seal is thicker than a peripheral region of said seal. 7. The liquid gasification system of claim 1, wherein said seal further comprises a lip circumscribing said seal and configured to extend between a top of said cap and said container when said cap is attached to said container. 8. The liquid gasification system of claim 1, wherein said output portion comprises a needle having an open end for delivering gas to the container. 9. A kit for gasifying a liquid contained in a resealable container, the container defining an open section at a top end of said container and a closed section at a bottom end of said container wherein the top end is above the bottom end when the container is in an upright position, comprising: a cap defining an opening disposed in a top surface of said cap, said cap further defining threading within the interior of said cap;a seal configured to fit within said cap, said seal fitting into said cap in a position adjacent the opening and spaced apart from said threading and wherein said seal has a central portion that is thicker than a peripheral portion of said seal;and a gas delivery system comprising an output portion that extends through the opening in the cap with the container in the upright position to penetrate said seal before delivering a gas to the container, said output portion further being removable from said seal after delivering the gas while maintaining the container in an upright position;wherein said seal remains positioned to enclose the container after removal of said output portion of said gas delivery system from said seal. 10. The kit of claim 9, further comprising a gas storage vessel for connecting to said output portion. 11. The kit of claim 9, further comprising a controllable release mechanism connected to said output portion to control gas delivery, wherein said controllable release mechanism is a trigger device. 12. The kit of claim 9, wherein said cap further defines threading for connecting to the container. 13. The kit of claim 12, wherein said seal fits within the cap and spaced apart from said threading such that the container holds said seal against said cap without said seal engaging said threading. 14. A liquid gasification system comprising: a container defining an open section at a top end of said container and a closed section at a bottom end of said container, wherein said container is at least partially filled with a liquid and wherein said top end is positioned above said bottom end of said container when said container is in an upright position;a removable seal enclosing the open section of the container;a gas delivery system comprising: a storage vessel storing a gas therein; andan output portion connected to said storage vessel to deliver the gas from the storage vessel to an interior of the container;wherein said output portion penetrates said seal with said container in the upright position before delivering the gas and wherein said output portion is adapted to be removed from said seal after delivering the gas; andwherein, after removal of said output portion of said gas delivery system from said seal, said seal remains positioned to enclose the open section of said container; anda cap fitting onto the open section of the container and engaging said seal, said cap defining a hole in a top surface of said cap for receiving said output portion of said gas delivery system, wherein said seal further comprises a lip circumscribing said seal and configured to extend between a top of said cap and said container when said cap is attached to said container. 15. A liquid gasification system according to claim 14 wherein said output portion penetrates said seal through the hole in said cap, and said cap sufficiently engages the container to retain said seal adjacent the open section of the container upon removal of said output portion from said seal. 16. A liquid gasification system according to claim 14, wherein said seal further comprises a one way valve formed when said output portion penetrates said seal, wherein, upon removal of said output portion from said seal, said one way valve closes and said seal continues to enclose an open section of the container. 17. A liquid gasification system according to claim 14, wherein said seal is sufficiently elastomeric to close a puncture formed by removal of said output portion of said gas delivery system from said seal. 18. The liquid gasification system of claim 14, wherein said storage vessel stores the gas in the absence of liquid within the storage vessel. 19. The liquid gasification system of claim 14, wherein a central region of the seal is thicker than a peripheral region of the seal. 20. The liquid gasification system of claim 14, wherein said output portion comprises a needle having an open end for delivering gas to the container.
