Amazon.com Review
Wine should breathe a little, but not overnight. Putting an end to the oxidation process, which turns a favorite Merlot into vinegar, is easy with the Vacu Vin Wine Saver. These long-lasting extra stoppers are designed to work with the vacuum-style pump (sold separately) to keep a wine fresh. Made of high-quality rubber, they won't affect the taste of the wine. And the method is simple--just place a stopper in the opening of a bottle, place the pump over the stopper, and pump air out until you feel some resistance. This process is suitable for preserving all but sparkling wines, and will save Chiantis, Syrahs, and others for up to two weeks. -- Madeleine Miller

| 28 of 30 people found the following review helpful  There are cheaper and better options to save your wine, This review is from: Vacu Vin Wine Saver Extra Stoppers, Set of 2 (Kitchen) The main goal in keeping wine "leftovers" is to prevent the wine from aging between the time you open the bottle and when you finish the remaining wine. Air destroys wine, so you need to minimize the air contacat. You also have to keep the wine in the fridge during this time, because 55F is a 'normal aging temperature' and since the air is already aging the wine, you want to minimize *any* other degrading that might go on. Any temperature over 55F will simply make things worse.The vacu-vin attempts to help by sucking the air out of a half-empty bottle of wine. Note that, instead of the few pumps their literature suggests, you need about 15 pumps to get most of the air out. For many wine types the fact that you are in essence lowering the pressure in the bottle pulls the 'liveliness' out of the wine, which ruins it. I have done a series of tests for my website comparing both a red and white after 3 days, being stored under a variety of circumstances. The vacu-vin...

Having once experienced this freedom, why not enjoy more?The VacuVin comes with two stoppers, but two quicky become insufficient. It is easy to suddenly have several partially full bottles - a red and a white; but then a friend comes over and you want to share a special bottle. A couple dollars eliminates this constrait. Another reason to get more stoppers, is that they seem to loose their effectiveness over time - not keeping their vacuum seal very long. I am sometimes disappointed when I take out a "Vacced" bottle, squeeze the stopper, and don't hear the rush of air going into the bottle that indicated the seal held. Possibly the rubber hardens over time. One way to get more longevity out of the stoppers is to slightly wet them before using - the moisture seems to help the rubber get a good seal. 4 stars only because the stoppers should last...

I'm still using my original ones from 8 years ago! |
