Summary: Claims Are True
Comment: The Vacuum Wine Saver works as advertised in that it develops a vacuum over wine left in the bottle which "keeps" the wine and pulls the included stopper more deeply into the bottle. This vacuum is well maintained until you push the crown of the stopper horizontally which easily releases the vacuum and allows the bottle to be reopened. The only problem is the hand pump supplied to develop the vacuum. Pumping it the required number of strokes to make the whole thing work properly requires a good grip and good hand, wrist, and arm strength. If you are an older individual (like me) and have significant and painful hand and wrist arthritis (also like me) you may not be able to pump to a sufficient vacuum. Otherwise I love it.

Summary: good
Comment: It is better than putting a cork back in a bottle. It's so easy and so much cheaper than others on the market. It does require quite a few pulls till you hear the clicks but it doesn't require much effort.
I am sure if you are a wine conniseur doing more elabarate things may be better, but for a bottle of wine a week casual non expert like me it works quite well but I haven't tried it past a couple of days.
so if you want your bottle of wine to last a couple of days and you just take out a glass at a time this is perfect for you, well worth the little money it costs.

Summary: a lot of hype a bit of hope and a little sucky
Comment: i have been using this for at least 3 years, but i don't really know why. I see it (or similar)used at places like Olive garden, and assume it must be done to preserve wine, but i don't really see the difference.
On new wines, especially whites, it seems to work(well at least as well as sticking the cork back in).
but on even slightly older reds (anything 4 years or older) it seems to make no difference at all. they are almost always oxidized by the next evening, and definitely by the following day.
If you can bare to refrigerate your wines, then that seems to aid the process, but I don't know. no mater how much air you get out, there is always some left in, going to work on your wine...
science says is should help, but reality shows it is barely worth it..

Summary: Great way to preserve opened wine
Comment: 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.

Editorial Reviews:

Vacu-Vin wine saver system. The only thing sadder than pouring spoiled wine down the drain is not opening it at all because you can't finish the bottle at one meal. The one and only, original Vacu-Vin, used in more than 10 million homes worldwide, is the easiest, most affordable way to preserve opened wines. The Vacu-Vin pump removes the air (and the oxygen that spoils wine) from opened bottles. Place it over the reusable stopper and pump out the air. The more stoppers you have, the more bottles you can save! One-year warranty. Includes one pump and two stoppers. Gift boxed. Fits any size or type wine bottle. Additonal stoppers available here
