Given a free choice, I chose the heavier argon. I'd seen it in use in an SF wine store where one could try fifty wines. (An obsessive friend showed me this store. I have better follow-through.)

It is said that CO2 can carbonate your wine. If you haven't experienced this, you're fine. I know no reason to actively prefer CO2 to argon, if one is making a free choice.

CO2 will not carbonate your wine unless you pressurize it.

1atm of (normal air) displaced by 1atm of CO2 is not going to lead to any carbonation ...

Which store, if you wouldn't mind me asking?
