Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Vacu Vin 3-Piece Wine Saver Pump and Stopper Gift Pack, White
Customer Review: works great
Summary: 4 Stars
This product is easy to use and works. I think what we like best is that we can store our already open wine bottles sideways without them dripping like they sometimes do when you put a cork back in.Customer Review: Here's a Plug for A Great Wine Bottle Plug
Summary: 5 Stars
This little gizmo and accompanying rubber plugs ends the problem of left-over wine and how to store it. After the plug is inserted the Vacu Vin pumps the air from the bottle, creating an air-tight seal. It keeps wine fresher longer. Until the day when screw caps are universal, this pump is an indispensable part of any wine lover's kitchen.Customer Review: Good Buy

I know there is a lot of debate abound concerning this product, and a lot of negative comments too. Before purchasing it I read arguments on both sides of the fence and then decided to go ahead and give it a try anyway. For my usage it's a well-made, effective and reasonably-priced solution to my problem which is that I prefer to buy full-size (not half-size) bottles.
What you get from this product will vary depending on what you drink and how you drink it. I only drink red Bordeaux so my experience using this product relates only to that consumable. However, no matter what kind or what shade of wine you drink you need to realise the varied laws of science that are at play here insofar as with wine you are essentially dealing with an organic product that will rapidly deteriorate if exposed to oxidation, therefore, any wine which is opened should be drunk soon thereafter. All this product will do is give you a little bit of grace, it will not miraculously preserve your wine or reverse its degeneration.
My own personal using style is based upon enjoying the taste and flavour of quality wines and not on consuming quantities. I therefore tend to drink half a bottle one one day and half on the next. If possible I also combine the opening of a bottle with the making of pasta and so I can use some in my sauce too. I also tend to put the bottle in my refrigerator between drinkings. If you approach opening and consuming a bottle in that manner I think you will find no noticeable deterioration in the quality and enjoyment of your wine. Certainly I have not.

Summary: 5 Stars
This was our second purchase of the Vacu Vin. We bought this one for our second home. My wife enjoys a glass or two with dinner and using the Vacu Vin gives her another day to enjoy a bottle of wine. The price is a bargain and that extra day saves me a lot of money. Customer Review: Others Benefits

I've used this product for years. One of the seldom mentioned advantages is that after pumping, the bottle can be laid horizontal in the refrigerator. In the past this product had a problem, the pump would jam. The pump was no longer usable. The remedy was simple, just spray the pump with vegetable oil.
