These work great, as another reviewer has said, though - they don't make the wine last forever. You have to have properly set expectations and handle the open wine carefully, sealing it quickly. Also if you leave the wine out of the refrigerator, it will spoil, the simple act of opening it has set the clock in motion. You are merely trying to slow it down. Certain wines oxidize/spoil more rapidly (or at least develop that metallic nastiness of oxidized wines) than others.
The only better 'systems' are:
1. Glass marbles. Whenever you take out some wine, leave the bottle open ONLY LONG ENOUGH to pour a glass, then top it off with clean glass marbles, right up to the top and recork it (using the vacuvin if you have it for double security) and refrigerate it.
Clean marbles? First steal them from any handy 10 year old boy, then hide them in the silverware basket of the dishwasher and leave them there. Your marbles will be safe from the 10 year old, and clean when you need them. Voila!
2. Never open the wine. Not really an option ;-> Particularly with 10 year old kids around...
Cheers!

I am guessing that there is some other part that is necessary for these to work because they do not work.
It Really Works June 10, 2007
Have used this effective and inexpensive product for years. Keeps the balance of a bottle of good, even older, red fresh for 1-2 days. White in the refrigerator a couple of days longer. Cork as soon as possible after the first day's pour. A simple economical alternative to a nitrogen/inert gas injector.

These are wonderful to use. They make a huge difference in keeping wine fresh and sealed.
