 Essential! October 8, 2008
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! September 4, 2008
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 July 22, 2008
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.

No Brainer.....Must Have Accessory July 5, 2008
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.
