 Never waste another bottle of wine Mar 17, 2010
It's not often a full bottle of wine is finished in one night at my house as we tend to drink beer more than wine. In the past I would struggle to get the cork back into the bottle to save it for another night. Of course I was not always successful and several times ruined what was left by getting pieces of cork into the wine. Recently at a friends house I saw her using the Vacu Vin Wine Saver and realized I needed one myself. I found them here on Amazon and at the time it was included in the 4-for-3 promotion so it was a great deal. Since receiving it I have had the chance to use it twice and it couldn't be easier to use. I see that you can buy extra stoppers, but for me two is plenty. Color didn't matter to me, but if you prefer it also comes in Black.
 Simple, effective Mar 08, 2010
The Wine Saver is easy to use and just as convenient as any other wine stopper with the benefit of prolonging the quality of opened bottles.
Really Works Well Mar 02, 2010
I do have this system (a Christmas gift), but until the night before last I haven't had the opportunity to try it out as Vesta and I seem to finish every bottle of wine we start. But we were in the middle of a Coastal Estates BV Cab and Eight Legged Freaks, a movie with a very young Scarlett Johansson in it that we watch a lot, because it's so campy, when friends stopped by with a couple bottles of very expensive Bordeaux. They wanted to share, so I stopped the BV, pumped the air out and guess what, the next night it was just fine, every bit as good as when we first opened it. So five stars from me. This works.
hand pumps work Feb 23, 2010
The VacuVin works great for me, keeping wines drinkable for several days. For those doubtful of the whole idea, I would say that hand vacuum pumps are a standard technology (you can find them in auto shops, sold on Amazon) and they remove about three quarters of the air (and hence oxygen) from the bottle. A company called Roarockit sells a pressure laminating kit with a wine vacuum pump as the key piece!
From their FAQ: "The wine pump that comes with a Roarockit is an amazing high pressure low volume pump. It will create as much vacuum pressure as an electric pump will, between 11 and 13 lbs psi." Yes, you can do better vacuum for a lot more money, but it won't help the wine much unless there's little left (and a lot of air)
Works well; not really convinced it does much Feb 20, 2010
I don't finish a typical bottle of red wine for about a week, so anything I can do to keep it fresh seems sensible. Basic chemistry tells me that a vacuum will help with that, although I'm not convinced that this creates enough of a vacuum to make much difference. Keeping wine in the fridge is much more effective (if you don't mind cold red wine), so I do both, and am pretty happy with that. Also, it's a lot easier than trying to replace certain types of corks.
