Product Description: A Vacuum pump removes air from the opened bottle and re-seals it with a reusable rubber stopper. A "click" tells you when you have reached the optimum vacuum level, which slows down the oxidation process and keeps the wine fresh.

Rating: - Easy, simple and works
This works like a champ. Easy to use. Slap on one of the two stoppers on the wine bottle, start pumping a few times and they you hear a clicking sound. Remove pump and you are done. Piece 'o cake! Works well for adding life to that unfinished bottle!
Rating: - Perfect for the Wine Enthusiast
This little doodad is the best way I know to keep the ummmm in an opened bottle of vino. Put a cork in it? Nah - Use this!
Rating: - This Is A Great Product!!
If you enjoy a nice glass of wine and don't finish the bottle, you know how that great taste can change. Like many of you, we have purchased a number of wine savers and for the most part none of them work. Finally we found a winner. The Wine Saver works by pumping all of the air out of the bottle and keeps it fresh until you're ready to drink it again. It not only works, it works great; and it's easy to use. It even starts to create a clicking sound when the process is complete. It's a great product we give them as gifts and I recommend them to you.

This product does what it is supposed to and does it well. I have had it for about a month and have used it several times.

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.
