Original Vacu Vin Wine Saver with 2 Vacuum Stoppers

Want to open that nice bottle of wine, but uncertain you’ll be able to finish it off in one sitting?

Fear not. With this clever, inexpensive device from Vacu Vin you can give your bottle extra life.

What’s the enemy of wine… ?

Oxidation!

These rubber stoppers (2 included) easily cap off your bottle when done, and the pump is used to vacuum seal the remaining wine, and slow the oxidation process. Just pump, pump, pump.

There are a lot more expensive so-called “systems” out there, but the Vacu Vin does the job just fine, and for far less money. It’s a great stocking stuffer. I’ve never heard anything negative about this product, and Amazon users rate it 4.5 out of 5 stars.
