Wine Saver Vacuum Pump
£9.99
Half a bottle left on a Tuesday doesn't have to go down the sink. Push in a stopper, give the pump about ten strokes, and the bottle stays sealed in the fridge or the rack until you want another glass.

Close up
How the seal works
Handle
A wide grip to pull on. Each stroke draws a little more air out through the stopper's valve.
Steel barrel
Sits straight over the stopper. When the stroke gets hard to pull, there is very little air left.
Valve and release tab
Lets air out but not back in. Press the tab on top to break the seal before you pull the stopper.
Ribbed stopper
Soft rings grip the inside of the neck. It suits rigid bottles with an opening of 15 to 20 mm.
Compared
Vacuum stopper or cork?
Forcing the cork back in keeps out dust but leaves a bottle's worth of air on top of the wine. The pump takes most of that air out.
| Compared | This productVacuum pump | Original cork | Screw cap |
|---|---|---|---|
| Takes air out of the bottle | Yes | No | No |
| Works once the cork is lost | Yes | No | No |
| Suits sparkling wine | No | No | No |
| Spare stopper for a second bottle | Yes | No | No |
For prosecco or champagne, use a hinged sparkling wine stopper that holds the pressure in instead.
Questions
No. A vacuum pulls the bubbles out of fizz. Use a hinged champagne stopper for sparkling wine instead.
Rinse them in cool or lukewarm water and let them dry. The supplier warns that hot water and heat can warp them.
We don't put a number on it, because it depends on the wine. Less air in the bottle slows the staling, so it keeps better than with the cork pushed back in.
Pump until the handle pulls back hard and won't move further, usually around ten strokes. If it never firms up, push the stopper deeper into the neck.

Sample, not realNice weight to it
Has a nice weight to it and the steel barrel feels sturdy. Pump until it pulls back and you're done.

Sample, not realRelease tab is a bit fiddly
Seals the bottle well. The little release tab on top of the stopper is a bit fiddly to press, it took me a few tries the first time.

Sample, not realWish it came with more stoppers
Works really well. Two stoppers isn't quite enough in our house when there's a red and a white open plus the cooking wine.

Sample, not realStoppers can stick
Works well. Sometimes the stopper is really stuck after a few days in the fridge, and you have to press the release tab a couple of times before it lets go.

Sample, not realStoppers don't fit our bottles
Most of what we drink comes in heavier bottles with a thick lip at the neck, and the stopper won't sit snug enough to hold. Fine on standard bottles, which we rarely buy.

Small enough to live in the drawer with the corkscrew. Out it comes, ten pumps, back it goes.

Keep the end of a bottle for a bolognese at the weekend. No more half bottles going sour in the cupboard.
