5 out of 5 stars Very pleasantly surprised   March 9, 2007
 0 out of 1 found this review helpful

I was very pleased to see that the Vacu Vin works VERY easy - and keeps the wine stored very nicely. I had purchased another type of wine saver earlier in the year and it was very difficult to use and ended up breaking within 2 days, plus it was very expensive. The Vacu Vin is priced great and works very easy. A few quick "pumps" and the air is out and when you want to pour another glass of wine it is very easy to release the tab, pour and then pump it again, if needed. I am going to give the Vacu Vin as a gift with a bottle of wine to some of my friends for Christmas. I would definitely recommend this item.


4 out of 5 stars Seems to work fine   March 6, 2007

I just received this item a few weeks ago and have only used it a few times. Once I open a bottle of wine, it usually takes 4 or 5 days to finish it. It is much easier to use this item rather than putting the original cork back in the bottle. For that it gets 4 stars. I do not notice any difference (better or worse) in taste of the wine after 3 or 4 days in the fridge. The item is very easy to use and only takes a few pulls to remove the air. The instructions are simple and straighforward.

We received the vacum wine saver as a gift 5 years ago and have been using it every week since. You will save money and good wine with it!


5 out of 5 stars This Works!   January 29, 2007


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.

For more info on wine storage, check out my book, The New Short Course in Wine.

Works well, quick and easy to use at an affordable price. Extends the life of an open bottle of wine by at least a week. What else can you ask for.
