Yes, we had an older vacuum pump that had been around for at least 15 years. These are brand new and work with the pump!
I'm not sure if the Vacu Vin 088630 Wine Stopper 6 Pack will keep the wine from spilling out. Rubber gaskets, such as those found on canning jars and a variety of liquid containers, are available in a variety of stores to prevent air or liquid from entering or exiting a container.
They will, in fact. I recently purchased some, and they are fantastic. You'll have to pump a few more times than with the Oxo plugs to get a good seal, but it'll be worth it. There were no leaks when I turned a 3/4-full 750ml bottle of wine upside down. There were no leaks when I turned it over on its side for a while.
"Yes," I'll say based on my previous experience. Have a sealed wine bottle, even if it's only 3/4 full, and place it in our small wine fridge - I fold a paper towel under it for help in the event of a leak, as someone else suggested. I haven't had a single leak, and this is red wine, so you'll know if it does!
Selected User Reviews For Vacu Vin Wine Saver Vacuum Stoppers Set of 4 – Grey
These are imposters. They don't look like the Vacu Vin stoppers at all. These are black in color, have a rubbery odor, and are not made the same way as the official ones.
These wine saver stoppers are not compatible with older Vacu Vin pumps. The older pump appeared to create a vacuum with these stoppers at first, but when I went to open the bottle again, the vacuum had leaked air into it. I had assumed that if I bought a stopper that was the same brand as the pump I already had, they would work together. So, if you have an older pump, these stoppers are not for you.
If you're a wine lover, there's a good chance you'll have a few bottles uncorked at any given time, which was the case here. I had a bottle of dry red wine open for cooking and another chilled dessert wine in the refrigerator. I had recently opened a third bottle. Because the Vacu Vin only came with two stoppers, it was necessary to purchase this six-pack. When used to remove oxygen from an open bottle, the product works well. If you're reading this before deciding on a Vacu Vin, I can confidently advise you to get one, as well as these. The 6- The larger package is a much better deal than the smaller ones. And, given how easily things "disappear" in our kitchen, having a few extras is always a good idea!.
I used to use corks and would have spoiled wine in a matter of days. Vacuum is a term that refers to the process of Vin, I was able to go a week with 2-year-old wines. On older vintages, three days is recommended. I continue to use Vacu- Vin products have a proven track record of reliability and quality. Others I've tried haven't worked out as well - Perhaps the numerous ribs visible aid in the vacuum seal's longevity. I tried nitrogen gas and other fancy stuff, but it was just too much trouble and cost way too much money. br>br>For me, the best part is that I can use it for two reasons: (1) Rather than attempting to locate a half-decent candidate, I can easily save the remaining wine for three days (or more) and spend less on wine (half bottles are more expensive and have fewer options). (2) I don't feel guilty or concerned about opening a special bottle, such as the one on the left in the photo, because I can enjoy it over a two-week period. 3 days. It is simple to operate. br>br> After 25 years, you'll begin replacing corks simply to improve the seal. That's a bargain when you consider how much wine will spoil if you don't use a vacuum sealer. regards.
Although this particular brand is a best seller, how many other brands and styles do you see when you search for "wine stoppers"? Because there's only one on the first page, I'll give you the skinny in a nutshell. br>br>Purchase a brand with multiple rows of thin flanges, such as Le Creuset. This style, on the other hand, creates a seal that lasts much longer and is much more effective. This Vacu Vin design has one advantage: it has a conical tapered shape (smooth sides), which means it will fit better on a bottle with a larger than standard hole than the straight-sided design with flanges. However, there are no flanges on it. It is contingent on you firmly pressing it into the bottle while pumping out the air. When you let go of the air, however, you'll always hear a much, much louder sucking sound. In comparison to the VV design, the flange style is more pronounced. With the Vacu Vin, I've "corked" over 200 times. I've "corked" over 2000 bottles with two other brands with far superior designs and these VacuVin stoppers, which are always the loser by a significant margin. br>br>I'm requesting that Amazon accept a return. If you're trying to save $60, this is the way to go. 00 bottle of wine, you want something that works, and after more than 200 uses, I'm confident that the Vacu Vin shape and design is inferior to those with multiple thin flanges. This isn't a difficult task. Three rows of thin flanges have many times the holding power of a smooth Vacu Vin design pressed to slick glass.
Over the last few years, I've gone through four different vacuum wine stoppers. br>br>In the same way that Vacu Vin has an external pump, another brand does as well. These wouldn't produce nearly as much suction as Vacu Vin and would only last a day or two. One of the stoppers failed completely (did not seal at all) after 3 or 4 years, while the other maintained the vacuum for about 30 minutes. br>br>The other two brands had pumps built in. Built-in pumps were more convenient, but they provided less suction, only maintained the vacuum for a few days, and eventually failed after about two years. br>br>In the meantime, here is my first Vacu Vin - I've had it for about ten years now - For a few days, there is still a vacuum. And I just got some new Vacu Vin stoppers (real Vacu Vin, not knock-offs). For 12 days, offs) kept a strong vacuum seal on a newly opened bottle of red wine.
What? is a joke that I'm familiar with. Is there any wine left over? br>In this case, there is leftover wine because I'm the only wine drinker in the house. br>My liver is irritated by the two and a half glasses of wine I drink every night, so finishing the bottom on my own is out. br>br>As soon as the wine is opened and exposed to air, it begins to deteriorate. I insert one of these rubber corks and vacuum out the air in the bottle with the wine vac. My wine is still as fresh the next night. br>br>I bought a few so I could keep some extras in our camper and use some for reds and others for Chablis or Chardonnay. br>They're cheap and essential if you're going to re-cork that bottle. Oh, and a wine vac, of course. It's not only simple to use, but it's also a good deal.
The items I received are not the same as the ones in the photo and appear to be of lower quality. They appear to be a knockoff of Vacu Vin Inc. 's products. The items that were shipped are black in color, and they are shown in comparison to Vacu Vin Inc. stoppers in the photos. They do, however, appear to be able to keep a bottle's seal intact. If they last as long as the "real" ones I bought previously, only time will tell.
