Vacu Vin 3-Piece Wine Saver Gift Pack, White

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
