We have used vacu vin for several years and have always been pleased but the new type stoppers are not as efficient as the old ones for keeping wine fresh. They seem to loose suction.

Have the older version pump but had only two stoppers. Had to get a new version pump to use these stoppers but if you have several open bottles around, this is the solution. New version makes a sound when sufficient vacuum is attained. Not sure that is a great improvement but package of ten is worth the upgrade even though it requires purchase of the new pump. Perfect combination would be pump and ten, not the piddling two stoppers which is available

Second, you can remove some of the air with a simple pump and thereby slow down the rate at which wine deteriorates.

Why then, do we have both no-star and five-star reactions to this product?
Maybe the biggest source of disagreement is expectations. Vacuvin slows the deterioration of wine in the bottle, but it doesn't stop it.

Another possible reason for all the disagreement might be a... Read more
