Editorial Review:Product Description:Vacu-Vin wine saver system. The only thing sadder than pouring spoiled wine down the drain is not opening it at all because you can't finish the bottle at one meal. The one and only, original Vacu-Vin, used in more than 10 million homes worldwide, is the easiest, most affordable way to preserve opened wines. The Vacu-Vin pump removes the air (and the oxygen that spoils wine) from opened bottles. Place it over the reusable stopper and pump out the air. The more stoppers you have, the more bottles you can save! One-year warranty. Includes one pump and two stoppers. Gift boxed. Fits any size or type wine bottle. Additonal stoppers available here
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. Made from high-quality rubber, which will not affect the taste of the wine, the Wine Saver uses a vacuum-style pump to release air to keep a wine fresh. And it's easy to use--just place a stopper in a bottle's neck, place the pump over the stopper, and pump air out until some resistance is felt. This process is suitable for preserving all but sparkling wines, and will save Chiantis, Syrahs, and others for up to two weeks.

Great way to preserve opened wine
I enjoy having a glass or two of wine with dinner but, if I'm by myself, it's impossible because I can't finish a bottle alone (nor do I want to) and opened wine goes bad really quickly. The reason it goes bad has to do with the oxygen in the air. With the Vacu-vin pump I can remove the air from the bottle, and now an opened wine lasts me for about a week without refrigeration. Also, when you can't pump anymore air out of the bottle, the pump starts to click, indicating that you can stop pumping. I'm very happy with this product.

Keep wine longer
I love wine, but only a glass here and there. This product has helped me stop wasting wine by letting it go bad. I am not sure if I buy the whole "vacuum" concept, but it keeps wine fresh much longer and it is easy to use.

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.
