Vacu Vin Wine Saver Pump with 1 Bottle Stoppers - Black

Wine should breathe a little, but not overnight. Putting an end to the oxidation process, which turns a favourite Merlot into vinegar, is easy with the Vacu Vin Wine Saver. Made from high-quality rubber, which will not affect the taste of the wine, the Wine Saver uses a vacuum-style pump to release air to keep a wine fresh.

The Wine Saver is a vacuum pump that extracts the air from an opened wine bottle and re-seals it using a rubber stopper. The air-tight vacuum inhibits the oxidation process that is responsible for the deterioration of wine. The vacuum is created by placing a stopper into the neck of the opened bottle and pumping it until resistance is detectable. The pump incorporates a patented 'click' mechanism that indicates when a sufficient air-tight environment has been establsihed.

Vacu Vin was established as a company in 1986 in order to manufacture and distribute the Wine Saver Pump and Vacuum Bottle Stoppers. The idea for the product emanated directly from the taste of spoiled wine - something that its inventors wanted to prevent once a bottle had been opened. The Vacu Vin Wine Saver was the first device of its kind that was available to the international market. It is now used in over 35 million households and more than 80 countries throughout the world.
