screwpull's is better January 27, 2006
5 out of 7 found this review helpful

had a screwpull pump that was better, but lost it. the screwpull maintained a tighter seal and was easier to pump. to seal a half bottle of wine i have to pump this at least 30-40 times!!! NOT recommended.

While in California wine country, we learned about the benefits of pumping the air out of a wine bottle so the wine doesn't oxidize while in storage, thus, it "keeps" longer.
The Metrokane Vacuum pumps works as advertised, and our wine is lasting much better. We only use it for red wine; the white is usually in the 'fridge.
It is a good product at a very reasonable price. The pump comes with two corks, so you can have two bottles of red wine opened at the same time.

I've had enough half-bottles of wine starting to turn vinegar only one day after I opened them. I've tried enough different kinds of stoppers trying to prevent it.

FINALLY -- THIS ONE WORKS!!!

I bought this because it came inexpensively with my Rabbit corkscrew (which is also wonderful) and figured it was worth trying. WOW was it ever! Just put the stopper on the bottle, put the little hand pump on the stopper and give it a couple of pumps, and the wine is good to keep!

On the top of each stopper is a small "vacuum relief valve" -- just touch that to the side to let air back in the bottle to equalize the pressure, and the stopper comes out easily.

It has worked well for a couple days at a time. I haven't tried it for longer.

I have had the "other" vacuum wine saver and it did the job so-so. Purchased this one as a stocking stuffer for a freind, and they raved about it so much that I got one for myself. It's great - especially the air release valve. Whow, no more wasted wine!!
