"Wine Saver"
As per a suggestion from another reviewer, I bought this instead of the Vacu Vin coffee keeper. I just put my coffee beans into an empty wine bottle, and they stay fresh.

"Perfect wine saver"
I had been given this product as a gift and feel in love with it. Many is the time there is left over wine in the bottle. This product will save the wine, by removing all the excess air. I have since given this as gifts to my wine loving friends. I even take it on vacation!!! Perfect if you want to have just one glass of wine and save the rest for an other time.

"Yes it WORKS!"
I was apprehensive on purchasing this at first, but then I had to try it as I was sick of either trying down down a bottle of wine quickly or else putting the cork on backwards (it always swells up at the down end after popping it out). And after trying it I must say it works!

You get the "pump" and two corks with this. You open the wine, then put the new cork in the bottle, take the pump and push it down on the cork and while pushing down pump with your other hand. This takes all the air out of the bottle and secures the cork. You know when to stop as it gets harder and harder to pump then you hear a "tick-tick" sound and it's done.....the less wine in the bottle, the more you have to pump as there is more air to get out. When you go back to drink more wine, you push the lever on the cork and you'll hear a "whoosh" and you then pull the cork off.

Note:
1) You cannot use the corks without the pump. They will not stay on good and will not work.
2) When you get the corks and pump, wash them before using. Take the corks apart (two pieces each) and wash in hot soapy water.
3) Order a set of four extra corks as you'll probably be looking for more soon!

"New and improved"
I owned a previous version of this product that somehow disappeared. The new version purchased this year "chirps" once the proper vacuum level is achieved. (How do it know?)

"WINE SAVER"
This is a great product for conserving the wine you didn't finish. Its easy to use, and very effective.

What our customer's say!

"Essential!", I have just purchased this as a gift for wine-loving friends. I have owned a Vacu-Vin for years and find it an absolutely essential item in my life. It keeps wine fresh for days--that is, if you should have some left over.

"The Best Wine-Keeper Ever! Excellent, Simple and Inexpensive!", As someone who realy enjoys a glass of wine, or 2, but NOT the whole bottle at the same time, about 10 years ago I discovered this GENIUS of a little wine keeper system!

I know there are more expensive systems out there, but those are just not in my budget, AND, I cannot imagine how they could work better than the VAC-U-VIN!

I have been proud to give many of these as gifts to friends and family - I have been extremely pleased with the storage of wine (not sparkling) AND AT ROOM TEMPERATURES, with the VAC-U-VIN. I mention this, because there are those of us who truly enjoy wines, but do not have built-in wine-cooler refrigerators, or even much space to spare, often, in our regular refrigerators - So the VAC-U-VIN's ability to keep wines for a week or several weeks, AT even room-temperatures, is a real plus.

Just know, I realize that refrigerating even VAC-U-VIN-sealed bottles would be even better for maintaining the integrity of the flavors -

The VAC-U-VIN and its rubber, self-sealing corks work simply, and so well: Once the cork is in place, the VAC-U-VIN is then placed over the rubber stopper, and,depending on the air volume left in the bottle, you pump by hand as much of the air as you can, out of the bottle.

And, with most of the oxygen removed, this greatly curtails the deterioration of the wine, keeping it very nicely until you want the remainder. COOK with wine? VAC-U-VIN would be great for keeping the remainder on hand for "the next time"!

There is nothing else to buy, no gas cartridges, no other ongoing supplies - Simple, Inexpensive, and WORKS BEAUTIFULLY! What more might one want?!?

I will continue to use my VAC-U-VIN, share them as gifts, and I hope you will enjoy using yours as much as I / we have!

"Must have if you can't finish the bottle", Been using these for years, Stick the stopper in the bottle, pump a couple times and viola! wine stays fresh, bottle doesn't leak, back in the fridge it goes til you're ready for the next glass - even if its a couple days later.

"Wine Saver ", We have used this type of product for several years. This is an excellent gift for a wine lover friend.

"No Brainer.....Must Have Accessory", I odered it through Amazon...not to mention .....Perfect delivery .
I think it is a must Accessory for Wine peeps!
It really keeps the air out of the bottle and keep the wine FRESH!
If you want to drink remaining wine bottle the next day or even after 3-4 days....With this vaccum ....it keeps the wine fresh. No more excess fermentation.Bottle fits perfect in the wiine cooler.
I bought one wine stopper from Brookstone for $35 dollars ...a fancy one....but it broke in 6 months and was too bulky...and bottle wont even fit in my wine cooler.
This is a great product.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Works Great, Without Making Long Bottles Longer", I realize that a 100% complete vacumn is not achived. However, it does remove excess air (try it on a plastic soda bottle; it sucks the bottle inward). Most importantly for me, my bottles don't have to have the cork pounded in so deep it is very difficult to take them out again. The reusable bottle stopper only adds a few milimeters to the length of the bottle. And, it is SO much easier to open and reclose bottles. Well worth the money!

"Wine Stopper Tool", The tool works as advertised, unfortunately we never leave an open bottle of wine around long enough to tell whether or not the tool actually keeps it fresh.

"Save the wine", I have used this outfit for years and it works wonderfully well. If you buy the big 1.5 liter bottles of wine, you will save money and can keep it fresh with this item. Simple and effective. Takes a little pump, pump, pumping, but you can use the exercise. Hint: if you rub a tiny bit of oil (like canola, or some other light oil) inside the pump on occasion, it will work much smoother.

"It's a bargain",

Looking at the reviews of this an other Vacuvin products, you see reports that are deeply contradictory. It's interesting that there is such a divergence of experience with such a simple product. The ideas behind Vacuvin are pretty simple.
First, air is the enemy of an open bottle of wine. Bacteria in the air want to turn alcohol into vinegar. The air itself oxidizes and dulls the taste of all but the most robust wines.
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 question of temperature. The biochemical reactions that kill your wine are temperature sensitive. They proceed faster when the wine is warm and slow down when it's cool. Putting a pumped-out bottle in the refrigerator or wine cooler will slow down the spoilage processes and make Vacuvin more effective.
A third issue is the way the wine is handled before the Vacuvin plug goes in. If wine has a lot of air dissolved in it by being poured from decanter to bottle, there's no system that will keep it fresh.

For more info on wine storage, check out my book, New Short Course in Wine,The

--Lynn Hoffman, author of New Short Course in Wine,The and bang BANG: A Novel from Kunati Books.

"Keeps wine fresh", I'm really happy with this product. I'm the only one in the house who drinks wine, so I always talk myself out of opening a bottle because I'm afraid it will go bad before I get a chance to drink it all. The wine saver really seems to work. Now I don't hesitate to open a bottle of wine, even if I only want half a glass. I wish I had bought it years ago.
