REVIEW: Vacu Vin 3-Pc Wine Saver

Tuesday, March 10th, 2009 at 5:15 am

How often have you had a great bottle of wine that you wanted to savor for days? But you knew better. If you didn’t drink it all right away it was going to quickly lose that great flavor and become sour wine. So, you are stuck with a dilemma, do you drink more than you wanted to in order to be able to enjoy the wine or do you sorrowfully put it in the refrigerator hoping against hope that it will last just a little while longer, but knowing you will likely have to throw it away?

That is the type of situation that led to the creation of the Vacu Vin 3-Piece Wine Saver. It is a vacuum mechanism that will remove the excess air from the wine bottle and let you store it so it can last longer.

If you don’t understand the workings of wine, the problem is the air hitting the wine. Once you open the bottle, the air that gets into the bottle will begin to age and sour the wine. So, it would make sense that if you are able to remove that air from the bottle, the wine would last longer.

This set includes a plastic pump to remove the air and a pair of rubber stoppers to close up the bottle until you are ready to get back to it. This will help your wine last a few more days so you can enjoy it until it’s gone.

What We Like:

This will let you keep a bottle of wine tasting fresh for a few days.

What We Didn’t Like:

Using the pump can be difficult if you have any sort of dexterity problems.

It doesn’t seem to be able to remove enough air to keep the wine as long as it claims. More sensitive wines may go south very quickly.
