Vacu Vin Original Wine Saver Black with 2 Stoppers

Vacu Vin Original Wine Saver

The Vacu Vin Original Wine Saver Black with 2 Stoppers is a simple way to keep an opened bottle of wine fresher for longer. Once wine is exposed to air, oxidation gradually begins to affect its flavour and aroma. This clever vacuum wine saver removes excess air from the bottle, helping to slow that process so there is less pressure to finish the whole bottle in one evening.

Using it takes just a few moments. Place one of the reusable wine stoppers into the open bottle, position the vacuum pump on top and pump until you hear Vacu Vin’s patented ‘click’. This tells you the optimum vacuum level has been reached and the bottle is ready to be stored upright until you fancy another glass.

The original Vacu Vin Wine Saver has been around since 1986 and remains a brilliantly practical addition to a wine accessories collection. At i4C, we particularly like it for those bottles you want to enjoy over a couple of occasions – whether that is a favourite red with dinner, a crisp white at the weekend or wine opened for cooking when you only need a splash.

Key Features:

• Includes 1 black Vacu Vin wine vacuum pump and 2 reusable stoppers.
• Patented click mechanism indicates when the optimum vacuum level has been reached.
• Reusable stoppers are dishwasher safe.
• Designed and made in the Netherlands.
• Compact dimensions of approximately 76 x 171 x 39mm.
• Lightweight design weighing approximately 105g.
• Designed for still wine rather than sparkling wine.
• Great gift idea for wine drinkers.

Usage Ideas:

• Use the Wine Saver after opening a bottle for dinner when you only want to enjoy one or two glasses and keep the remainder for another occasion.
• Seal leftover red or white wine after entertaining so bottles do not need to be finished simply because they have been opened.
• Keep it handy when using wine in risotto, sauces and casseroles, allowing you to take what the recipe needs before resealing the bottle.
• Use the two included stoppers to switch easily between different bottles when serving several wines over a weekend or dinner party.

How does a vacuum wine saver help preserve opened wine?

Removing excess air from the bottle reduces the amount of oxygen remaining in contact with the wine. This slows oxidation, the natural chemical process that gradually changes a wine’s aromas, flavours and overall freshness after opening.

How do I know when I have pumped enough air out of the bottle?

Vacu Vin’s patented system produces an audible click once the optimum vacuum level has been reached. There is no need to count how many times you pump, making it easy to create the intended vacuum each time.

Why should a vacuum-sealed wine bottle be kept upright?

Keeping the bottle upright reduces the surface area of wine exposed to the remaining air inside the bottle. It also helps the Vacu Vin stopper maintain its intended position and seal while the bottle is being preserved.
