Product Description: 2 extra stoppers for any of the Vacu Vin or Concerto wine saver systems. Fits any size or type wine bottle
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

The Vacu Vin Wine Saver Stoppers were exactly what I expected when I ordered them. They work great with my old Vacu Vin Wine Saver. I would recommend the product to anyone.

Second, you can remove some of the air with a simple pump and thereby ... Read More
Rating: - Vacuum Wine Saver Stoppers
These savers are very efective as vacuum stopers to help preserve opened botles of wine.
Rating: - Better get a couple of these
When you get tired of searching the kitchen drawer for one of these gray corks for your wine leftovers, realize that the last one probably DID roll under the fridge or become a chew-toy for Fideaux. So have a packet of these on hand.
Rating: - There are cheaper and better options to save your wine
The main goal in keeping wine "leftovers" is to prevent the wine from aging between the time you open the bottle and when you finish the remaining wine. Air destroys wine, so you need to minimize the air contacat. You also have to keep the wine in the fridge during this time, because 55F is a 'normal aging temperature' and since the air is already aging the wine, you want to minimize *any* other degrading that might go on. Any temperature over 55F will simply make things worse.
The vacu-vin attempts to help by sucking the air out of a half-empty bottle of wine. Note that, instead of the ... Read More
