Book club approved
Hosted book club and had three half bottles left. Two stoppers went on the reds and the white got finished. Everyone asked about it.

Wine Saver Vacuum Pump
R219.99
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.

Great with rose
Half a bottle of rose in summer, kept in the fridge and sealed. Still crisp two days later.

Good, wine tastes the same
Good enough for me. I would not say it is miraculous but it keeps wine well.

Glass in the evening
Just my wife and me on a weeknight, and one of us usually has a glass. This keeps the bottle until the next evening. Simple pump, nice stopper. It is easy enough that my wife uses it too, which is not true of most kitchen gadgets I buy. We have not wasted a bottle since.

Hand wash only for stoppers
The pump works well. The stoppers need rinsing in cool water and drying, no hot water, so it is one extra step after each bottle.

Cooking wine stays usable
Keep a bottle of dry white for cooking and only use a cup at a time for risotto. This keeps it usable for the next batch.

Christmas present hit
Got it for my father in law, who likes a nice bottle but only has a glass at a time. He's used it all through January.
