Amazon.com Review
Wine should breathe a little, but not overnight. Putting an end to the oxidation process, which turns a favorite Merlot into vinegar, is easy with the Vacu Vin Wine Saver. These long-lasting extra stoppers are designed to work with the vacuum-style pump (sold separately) to keep a wine fresh. Made of high-quality rubber, they won't affect the taste of the wine. And the method is simple--just place a stopper in the opening of a bottle, place the pump over the stopper, and pump air out until you feel some resistance. This process is suitable for preserving all but sparkling wines, and will save Chiantis, Syrahs, and others for up to two weeks. --Madeleine Miller

Works with the Vacu-Vin Pump April 15, 2008
These are great! However you NEED the VacuVin PUMP to make them use. Don't try to use them without the pump as they will not stay in secure, and will not keep your wine fresh. You're better off using a piece of plastic over the bottle if then to just try ordering these corks without first having the pump.

With the pump these work great and are necessary as extras. Just make sure you take them apart and wash them in hot soapy water before using.

Also, both times I ordered these extras they came in a plastic zip lock bag with an amazon label. So I think Amazon must get a batch of them in and seperate them by hand.

Best Wine Saver Available January 22, 2008
The Vacu Vin system is the best available. Pay attention the next time you're in a bar--they're using these, too! My husband doesn't like wine and these stoppers enable me to have a glass when I want it without feeling compelled to chug the entire bottle at once. :)

Great product January 14, 2008
These are a little different than the first ones I bought, but work great. Use for wine and large bottles of Belgian bier.

Only one thing better, actually two... September 12, 2007
1 out of 2 found this review helpful

These work great, as another reviewer has said, though - they don't make the wine last forever. You have to have properly set expectations and handle the open wine carefully, sealing it quickly. Also if you leave the wine out of the refrigerator, it will spoil, the simple act of opening it has set the clock in motion. You are merely trying to slow it down. Certain wines oxidize/spoil more rapidly (or at least develop that metallic nastiness of oxidized wines) than others.

The only better 'systems' are:

1. Glass marbles. Whenever you take out some wine, leave the bottle open ONLY LONG ENOUGH to pour a glass, then top it off with clean glass marbles, right up to the top and recork it (using the vacuvin if you have it for double security) and refrigerate it.

Clean marbles? First steal them from any handy 10 year old boy, then hide them in the silverware basket of the dishwasher and leave them there. Your marbles will be safe from the 10 year old, and clean when you need them. Voila!

2. Never open the wine. Not really an option ;-> Particularly with 10 year old kids around...

Cheers!
