Preserving photo chemistry

I recently had a small brainstorm or was it a storm in my small brain?
Anyway, I use an "inert" gas product to help keep opened bottles of wine
fresh. It works by laying down a "blanket" of gas on the top of the
liquid, preventing any air from accelerating the oxidation or spoilage.
The label says it works for various liquors, sherrys, oils, and
vinegars. Why wouldn't this also work for photo chemistry? Any chemist
out there?

I was thinking this would work especially well with film developers. Any
thoughts?
