Editorial Reviews:

Amazon.com Review
Convertible with the push or pull of a button, the pump in this set either draws air from an open wine bottle or injects air into an open sparkling-wine bottle. In either case, it preserves the wine by resealing the bottle using the special stoppers included--two for wine and one for sparkling wine. The stoppers fit into a bottle, the pump fits onto the stoppers and about 15 gentle pumps later--voila!--wine stays fresh for another day. The 6-inch-high pump and three stoppers store in a black-plastic countertop holder. --Fred Brack

Mediocre Wine Saver July 13, 2008
This item was an exciting find for me, but clumsy to use on some wine bottles and not made of very good quality materials. The cover doesn't fit that well and cracked in shipping.

Product Not Like Earlier Ones August 26, 2007
I have used one of these for several years and finally wore it out. This new one just doesn't work very well. I have no idea why, but it doesn't, so I am extremely disappointed.

Henry's Law (again) July 22, 2007
4 out of 6 found this review helpful

Well I am also a medical doctor but medical school really doesn't make you any more qualified to be a physicist than a 2nd or third year physics undergrad (although I do also have a degree in Chemistry). Henry's law, however, only applies for solutions where the solvent does not react chemically with the gas being dissolved. A common example of a gas that does react with the solvent is carbon dioxide, which rapidly forms hydrated carbon dioxide and then carbonic acid (H2CO3) with water. The law also only applies in sufficiently dilute mixtures. This thread is actually a garden of misinformation regarding co2 and the epivac......everyone is part right (and wrong). In any case the device does a good job for the money. I'm on my third one over 10 years or so.

Doesn't work well -- A waste of money February 16, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I ordered this product as well as a set of extra Swissmar stoppers -- it was one of those things that sounds good, but turns out to be more trouble than it's worth, and never lives up to the promise. There's no way to tell for sure if you have a vacuum, unless you bend the release pin on the stopper, but then of course if you had a vacuum, you just released it. And if you do get a good seal, it slowly releases over time.

But here's the biggest warning: if you're planning on storing wine bottles or other beverages on their side (like in a wine rack), they will leak thru the stopper. I've tried this a number of times (I store bottles on their side in the fridge), being careful to pump the best vacuum I can, and everytime, they leak, leaving a small puddle of wine below the stopper. If you plan to store bottles like this, don't waste your money. Do a search for "leak-proof" wine stoppers. You'll find better products.

Holds Vacuum on wine for weeks August 10, 2006
2 out of 3 found this review helpful

I've had this product for 3 or 4 years, adn keep loosing the stoppers, but I keep buying more because it does a great job of sealing a $20 bottle of wine, and keeping a vacuum in the bottle for weeks - ie: no air- no oxidation = continued great wine. This way I can dring a glass of good wine any night, and have the rest whenever I like.

Greatest wine stopper ever - by far!
