Vacu Vin Wine Saver Stainless Steel Gift Box – Includes 1 Vacuum Pump & 2 Stoppers – Preserve Wine Freshness – Elegant Wine Accessory Set

What? This item closes my wine and saves it unil I need an evening drink. This is a convenient stopper for all of my wines that I open during entertaining. Thank you.

I actually wondered if we would need this tool since we rarely ever have left over wine but...........it's nice to be able to open 2 or 3 different bottles at a time to have your own tasting or to share with friends and then not worry if it will be stale by the next day if you don't finish it all. This product was easy to use. You insert the stopper, put the pump on top of it and pump it until you hear it click. To remove the stopper, you bend the little nipple on the stopper to the side and the vacuum is released. It doesn't get any easier than that. I have laid bottles on their side with the stoppers in place without any leakage at all. The stoppers are easy to clean too. If you've had to drink stale wine in the past for any reason you need this Vacu Vin pump. The stainless steel is a nice touch and the price is right. The Vacu Vin kit goes well with the Oster Electric Bottle Opener (which is a must if you enjoy a lot of wine or have problems with any other type of bottle opener). I was skeptical at first about the 2 pourer's (sp?) that came with this kit due to inexperience with anything like this. The design seemed flawed and when I opened the package, I assumed they were broken. That's certainly not the case. They deliberately have a split neck design so they can fit virtually any sized bottle opening. Function is something we have have all learned to compromise for form these days. These things function as if there were no other reason for their existence. I was amazed at the simplicity at which they work. Not a single drip occurs after you finish the pour. As a matter of fact, instead of dripping on your fancy table cloth or someones lap, it goes back into the bottle, so the function is two-fold. No mess, and no waste! I highly recommend this Vacu Vin Wine Saver Kit. If you only use it once to save a single bottle of expensive red it will pay for itself. And it will probably also work on soda bottles. (although we don't drink much soda in our house, except as mixers). Rob

AESTHETICS This is so much more attractive than the plastic white version. This may not matter to some, but it looks beautiful against our gleaming granite countertops vs. a white piece of plastic EXTRAS Comes with 2 non-drip pouring spouts and 2 stoppers EASE OF USE It definitely creates a vacuum inside the bottle. We let our seven year old try it out when it first arrived. We told him it's supposed to make a clicking sound when it's done. He put the stopper on the top of the wine bottle, pumped the handle 30 times (he counted - the bottle was a large bottle of wine used for cooking and only had about a cup of wine left in it) and when it clicked he stopped. He then released the stopper and we heard a whoosh of air rush inside. Our seven-year-old figured it out without further instruction. EFFECTIVENESS Similar to any other air-tight or air-sealing product (Foodsaver vacuum sealing food bags come to mind), keeping air out of the food prevents or greatly reduces oxidation and keeps the flavor of the food or wine, or whatever liquid fresh. Like anything, if you leave food in the fridge, even if you vacu-seal it eventually it goes bad. Vacu-sealing just reduces air contact, thereby reducing the rate of break down = food stays fresher longer. Same with wine. Eventually it's going to vinegarize. This just slows down that process. We haven't left anything on the counter and expected it to remain fresh. So for those who want their wine to remain room temperature, not sure this is going to buy that much extra time. Plus who wants to re-cork an open bottle of wine? Yes they sell ones for that purpose but I'd rather spend my money on a stopper that slows down spoilage :)

This little wine vacuum pump serves its intended purpose wonderfully, removing most of the air from a bottle of wine easily and effectively and delaying the infiltration of flavor-killing aerobic bacteria. In these hot summer months, it easily prolongs the usable life of a bottle of Cabernet stored at room temperature to a week or more after opening, instead of the 3-5 days that you'll get without using a pump between uses. Note, you can get even longer life out of the wine by storing it in a cooler environment after pumping. The box even has the word "Click" written on it in large letters so you know that when the pump makes a clicking sound, you're done. My only hesitation in recommending this kit is that it does not come with any means of storage of the five items in the set. The wonderful Vinturi Essential Wine Aerator is equally useful, but it comes with both a stand to rest the aerator on between pours as well as a cloth sack to store it in when not used for extended periods. This stainless steel wine saver "gift set" would benefit greatly from a small case or display stand on which the unit itself, the two pourers and the two stoppers could be stored when not in use. Overall, an excellent product but one that could contribute toward the dreaded KCS (kitchen clutter syndrome).

This is a must-have for wine lovers! I like that the set includes 2 wine stoppers (which is why I ordered this item) and 2 servers that are great for pouring wine: their particular structure makes the serving drip-free, while it is only sometimes the case with similar servers. The wine stoppers work great, preserving the wine for a few days. The 'trick' that you must keep pumping until you hear a 'click' makes it much easier to know when to stop and ensure the wine bottle is sealed correctly.

We've "worn out" two previous plastic Vacu Vins, and were hoping the stainless steel version would last longer. So far it has performed as expected.

Es justo como se describe. Una vez realizado el vacío en la botella el tapón queda bien sujeto, tanto es así que incluso puedes levantar la botella por el tapón (prueba realizada con botella de 75 cl llena por la mitad). Es muy fácil de utilizar y el chasquido de aviso de que la botella ya ha legado al vacío se escucha perfectamente. Los tapones servidores de vino hacen muy bien su función evitando el goteo del vino gracias a la rebaba que tiene, ademas me parecen bonitos. En definitiva creo que es un producto sencillo y muy funcional, el tiempo dirá si sale bueno o no. De momento llevo ya un par de meses con él y sin ningún problema. En cuanto a lo del estuche, es la propia caja de cartón en la que viene.

Acheté pour faire durer les flacons sur 2-3 jours, il fait ce qu'on lui demande. Bonne qualité de finition, le piston est efficace, on entend bien le clic. Les bouchons sont bien, l'ajustement lorsqu'on pose le piston est propre et le vide durable. L'ouverture est simple avec le mouvement du téton central. Profiter des promos occasionnelles pour faire des stocks pour faire des petits cadeaux.

Couple of pumps and the lid pops removing the air. Just flick the knob on the lid and pour away. Keeps wine fresh for longer
