Keeping open bottles of wine drinkable!, November 3, 2008
I love a glass of good wine with dinner… OK, sometimes two. Much to my doctor’s relief, I don’t drink a whole bottle at one sitting. To save the leftover wine, I use the Vacu-vin system. It’s extremely affordable, the toppers are reusable, and it’s much more convenient than some of the higher priced vacuum systems (or the nitrogen spray). Plus it’s a fun workout pumping out the air! Make sure you get the pump, too.

Excellent product, July 12, 2008
I have used these wine stoppers for about 3 months. The stoppers are used in conjunction with a pump that removes air from the wine bottle. My wine has stayed fresh for 3 weeks or more using these stoppers. Can’t ask for anything more.

New design corks work with old design pump, May 5, 2008
When shopping for these replacement corks, I was trying to find a review to confirm that the new style corks work with the old style pump. I took the chance that they would, and happily found that the new design corks work with old design pump.

Like marriage, it’s great if you have realistic expectations, August 21, 2006
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.
