Vacu Vin Original Wine Pump - 1 Vacuum Wine Stopper - Wine Saver - Black | Wine bottle stopper, wine vacuum pump and stopper, airtight seal, reusable stopper, up to 10 days freshness, no batteries

Easy to operate, with no learning curve. I'm not a wine expert, so I wouldn't notice the difference on my palate if it wasn't doing its job, but Cook's Illustrated rated it very highly, so I assume that it is working :) UPDATE - SHORT VERSION - Convenient and works well, but Cook's Illustrated did some tests and found some even better products! UPDATE - LONG VERSION: This is now the second place Wine Saver at www.cooksillustrated.com, as they have found a better one that preserves wine for longer. Here's what they had to say: "For years we’ve preserved open bottles of wine either by using the Vacu Vin Wine Saver, an inexpensive ($9.29) pair of rubber stoppers with a pump that sucks the air out of the bottle, or by pouring leftover wine into a smaller bottle or Mason jar to stave off oxidation. But innovative new gadgets promise to keep wine drinkable longer. We tested six tools, including the Vacu Vin, on half-empty bottles of red and white wine, comparing and evaluating the wines’ flavors and drinkability at various time intervals. ....Our old favorite worked reliably and kept wine drinkable for a week, but two new models bested it. As of press time, these two models had kept wine drinkable for one month. (We’ll continue to taste and report, so check our website for updates.) By inserting one model's sharp, hollow needle through the cork—we never had to uncork the bottle—we could pour just the amount of wine that we wanted while activating a pressurized capsule that simultaneously fed argon (an inert gas) into the bottle to displace the tapped wine. Not even our trained wine expert could say which was fresher: a month-old bottle sealed by this product or a freshly opened bottle of the same vintage. Another, cheaper product is a worthy Best Buy: It forms a barricade against air when its balloon is lowered into the bottle and inflated just above the surface of the leftover wine. On the downside, it’s slightly finicky and can be used on only one bottle at a time." Their new winner, for a short while, was the Coravin Wine Access System, but that was recalled (see www.cooksillustrated.com for more details), and the latest first-place is the Air Cork The Wine Preserver: "Once you get the hang of lowering the food-safe latex balloon into the bottle and inflating it just above the leftover wine’s surface, this budget-friendly device effectively seals off air, preserving wine’s drinkability for at least one month (we are continuing to test). A downside: You can seal only one bottle at a time. Balloons are guaranteed for 80 uses; replacement balloons cost about $4."

I’ve been using the Vacu Vin Original Wine Saver for about a month, and after trying several other wine savers, this is the one I keep reaching for. What I like most is the click sound when pumping. That little detail makes a big difference because it clearly tells you the seal is complete, so there’s no guessing if you removed enough air. It’s simple, fast, and consistent every time. The size is great for home use, and setup is very straightforward. The stoppers fit well, and the whole system does exactly what it should: help keep opened wine fresher longer so I can enjoy a bottle over multiple days without losing as much quality. I honestly don’t have a real con. If I had to suggest one thing, it would be offering 3 pieces instead of two for people who often have multiple bottles open :D. Overall, excellent value and performance. I’d definitely recommend it to wine lovers who want an easy, dependable way to preserve freshness.

Love this device. Easy to use. Allows me to open a couple bottles and not need to drink either all at once, so to speak! This is my second purchase, which will be a gift. I have had mine for a few year!

tired of wine getting that nasty next day smell? This thing is amazing, sucks out the air and makes wine last for days after you open in. Total lifesaver for a frequent wine drinker.

It does what is is supposed to - it removes enough excess air so that the seal of the stopper is tight. Though some would lead you to believe it is a magical instrument, it simply only removes enough air to create a partial vacuum to seal the stopper. Before I got this I always recorked (sometimes with a rubber stopper, sometimes the original cork depending on the wine), and put it in the fridge (of course taking reds out in time so they get to the right temp for dinner). So my comparison was using the Vacu Vin in combination with refrigeration. The first few bottles I had used the Vacu Vin on I was pleasantly surprised on how good the wine still tasted the next day. Though what made me wonder was when I used it on a somewhat more complex heavier red wine I found that the next day it tasted somehow a little duller in comparison to the day before. When this happened a second time I went searching for answers and found that it can often happen with such wines that the vacuum actually causes the wine to lose some acidity and certain aromas. Maybe that is why it tasted a bit dull. I would recommend to use this on a lot of bottles but you'll have to judge yourself on if the wine would lose a little something in comparison to just reusing the cork.

This wine saver does exactly what it says it does, and that’s honestly all I want from a product like this. It’s very easy to use—just put the stopper in, give it a few pumps, and you’re done. You can actually feel the air being removed, which gives you confidence it’s doing its job. I’ve noticed a real difference in how long my wine stays fresh compared to leaving a bottle open or just recorking it. Even after a few days, the taste and smell are noticeably better. The pump feels solid and comfortable in the hand, and the stoppers fit snugly without feeling loose or awkward. Nothing leaks, and I haven’t had any issues with the seal failing. It’s also easy to clean and store, which makes it something I actually use instead of letting it sit in a drawer. I like that it’s simple and not over-engineered—no batteries, no weird parts, just a straightforward design that works. This has helped me enjoy wine at my own pace instead of feeling like I need to finish a bottle quickly. Overall, I’m really happy with it and would recommend it to anyone who drinks wine and wants to keep it fresh without any hassle.

This Vacu Vin Wine Saver works really well! The vacuum pump is easy to use, and it keeps my opened bottles of wine fresh for much longer. The included stoppers fit securely and create a good seal, helping to preserve the flavor and aroma of the wine. It’s simple, effective, and very handy for wine lovers. Overall, a reliable and practical wine accessory that I’d definitely recommend.

I just need the one, I don't have a big wine collection so I'd never have more than one bottle open at a time. Its really easy to "well, it'll go bad if I don't" your way from one glass to a whole bottle you didn't really need to drink so this ends that. Works like a charm, 2 days after plugging I can pick the bottle up by the "cork" so it's keeping it's vacuum perfectly.

Classique, performant et facile d'utilisation

Funktioniert einwandfrei, Qualität des Weines bleibt erhalten. Habe die Weinpumpe bereits zum 2. Mal bestellt, zum Verschenken.

Works great! Nice easy way to save a part bottle of wine.

前に使っていたバキューム栓と比べて、空気がすぐ抜ける。使い勝手がいいです。

Lo compré porque lo encontré en un precio por debajo del habitual, no lo uso mucho, pero es muy práctico, hace su función, parece durable, es fácil de usar, desde mi punto de vista puede conservar un vino unos 2 días. Pero yo recomiendo que si abren una botella, se la terminen. Salud.
