5 out of 5 stars nice product with the right price   May 13, 2007
 1 out of 2 found this review helpful

I used to have a similar set before, but I gave it to someone else. I haven't used one since then because I cannot find one with the right price.
This set is made in quality and with good price. Highly recommend!


4 out of 5 stars what a great deal   May 1, 2007

Read about this item in the wine column of the Wall Street Journal. Gave many as hoiday gifts for those who don't finish a bottle of wine at a sitting. Have tried ours for up to three days of holding wine and its great. A perfect hostess gift and everyone should have one for themselves if you want to hold wine for a few days. Have't tried it for long term but still recommend it 100%. Very easy to use as well. You can't go wrong at the price.


2 out of 5 stars The "Featured Reviews" are kind,   April 7, 2007

this gadget doesn't work that well. True, it takes some of the air out, maybe as much as half, but that still leaves half the oxygen IN, spoiling the wine at a slower rate--2-4 days at best instead of 1-2. NOT the two weeks Madeiline Miller quotes. To really preserve the wine, try the inert gas cans $9 for 120 shots, less than ten cents per use, and they will keep wine fresh for two weeks or more. They are what the restuarants in Napa and Sonoma are using. I do like the Vacu Vin canister sets though, they keep moisture out well.


4 out of 5 stars It's better than the "featured reviews" say   April 5, 2007

No, it does not create a total vacuum in the bottle. But when you sqeeze the stopper to remove it and you hear the "swish" of air being sucked into the bottle, you know something of a vacuum has been created--otherwise the bottle wouldn't be acting like your "vaccum" cleaner.

I also think the opinion that this process harms some types of wines is pretty subjective. It's likely to be based on individual tastes as opposed to any objective factual findings.

What does this contraption do? It extends the life of the wine for a few hours. If you think it's going to keep your wine fresh for several days, you will be sorely disappointed. If you plug the bottle, pump like hell and put the leftover in the refrigerator, your wine should be good for overnight. Don't expect this to be a miracle product, however.

Newer wine making methods mean we get better quality wines that can be consumed younger than the wines of even 20 years ago. But wine still needs to be consumed pretty soon after pulling the cork. So, if you have a particularly good bottle you want to open and you know you can't drink it all by yourself, invite someone over to help you.
