With the sound of a simple click, the Vacu Vin stainless steel wine saver is a vacuum pump, which extracts the air from the opened bottle, clicks when you've reached optimum level and re-seals the wine bottle with a re-usable rubber stopper. The vacuum slows down the oxidation process so that you can enjoy your wine for days. Stainless steel. Includes vacuum pump, 2 re-usable rubber stoppers, and 2 pourers. Additonal stoppers available here. Fits any size or type wine bottle. Size: 5"H x 3"W

This item was recommended to me by a colleague. I have used it, and intend to give it out as birthday presents to my friends. An excellent tool for wine consumers!

Great product, I have already paid for it in the savings I get with "fresh" wine.

I am disappointed with this wine saver. It is supposed to "click" twice when the proper vacuum strength is reached. It does not. I have a plastic one at my home in Texas, and it clicks.

Looking at the reviews of this an other Vacuvin products, you see reports that are deeply contradictory. It's interesting that there is such a divergence of experience with such a simple product. The ideas behind Vacuvin are pretty simple.
First, air is the enemy of an open bottle of wine. Bacteria in the air want to turn alcohol into vinegar. The air itself oxidizes and dulls the taste of all but the most robust wines.
Second, you can remove some of the air with a simple pump and thereby slow down the rate at which wine deteriorates.

Why then, do we have both no-star and five-star reactions to this product?
Maybe the biggest source of disagreement is expectations. Vacuvin slows the deterioration of wine in the bottle, but it doesn't stop it.

Another possible reason for all the disagreement might be a question of temperature. The biochemical reactions that kill your wine are temperature sensitive. They proceed faster when the wine is warm and slow down when it's cool. Putting a pumped-out bottle in the refrigerator or wine cooler will slow down the spoilage processes and make Vacuvin more effective.
A third issue is the way the wine is handled before the Vacuvin plug goes in. If wine has a lot of air dissolved in it by being poured from decanter to bottle, there's no system that will keep it fresh.

This stainless version of the popular winesaver includes two non-drip pouring spouts. The stainless look is perhaps worth a few dollars more than the cost of the plastic models.
