Wine Saver and Stopper - Removes Oxygen, Perserving and Keeping Wine As Fresh As The Day The Bottle Was Opened - Black (10-Pack)

Incredibly, this really works. I've used these multiple times now and am extremely happy with the results. Make sure to remove the little silver sticker at the bottom of the "cork," ensure it is firmly placed in the bottle top and it will keep wine fresh for a week! I have some nice bottles of wine that I previously hesitated to open because I was not going to drink the whole bottle in a sitting, now I can enjoy a nice bottle over the course of a week with very, very minimal loss of quality. Game changer for about $2 a bottle!

I usually do not drink expensive wine, however, I am the only one drinking the wine, and a typical bottle lasts 3 days for me. So, I may have an opened red and white in my refrigerator at any given time. I have tried the gases in the can system, and none of them have worked so well and are as simple to use as Repour. I have used 2 different brands of those gases in the can that use Argon gas, for example. This is just OK. I find it is difficult to tell when the can no longer has gas in it. Even when the can is new, I found this only moderately effective: Red wine, especially, would need to be discarded, as it got sour anyway. I also used one of those battery-operated wine aerators, leaving that on the bottle until I used up the bottle, and filling it with Argon gas. I still had to discard the red wine, since it soured before I finished it. And with this procedure, I wasn't even re-opening the bottle between pours, because the aerator remained on the bottle! So, the Argon gas or other gas system is just moderately effective, in my experience. -----I am so surprised how easy to use and effective the Repour is! I can now drink my red wine down to the last drop, and it doesn't sour!----- So, problem solved, at last! I have not tried the needle in the wine bottle solution. In my opinion, that system is only worth it if you have expensive wine that you want to save. I have not tried the Repour for a long period of time, where you want to save better wine for a long time, but it may be great for that, as well. I am saying that it is excellent for everyday wine so that you don't have to discard the bottle before it sours, which has solved my particular problem, and I think others have a similar problem. That is my experience with it.

No problems! Everything was great.

An open bottle of Wine doesn't keep for long. This product purports to absorb oxygen in the bottle, thereby slowing the souring process. I bought these for my daughter, who lives in another city, so I haven't tasted the results myself. Priced at about $2.50 per non-reusable cap, this product isn't for Three-Buck Chuck wines. But for costlier labels, it may well be worth the price. I've thought, if there were a way to inject nitrogen or some inert gas to displace the oxygen that an open bottle gets immediately when you pour, the souring could be avoided. I don't know of a product or method to do that. But these single-use caps (one cap per bottle, I assume) offer the oxygen to be absorbed into iron oxide - rust- thereby accomplishing th4e same.

Having sampled many wine preserver apparatuses over the years, I find this the best by far. I opened a 1500 ml (couble sized ) bottle of red 3 weeks ago, taking one glass every few days and find the freshness is undiminished. By comparison, I have experience a souring in taste after just a few days on single bottles with suction. I have a feeling it will continue to work after more than the one recommended use per bottle before discarding but have not tried it yet.

This work decently for short term storage. So far I used it both on a white wine I kept in the fridge as well as a Zinfandel I kept out in the counter. In both cases, I kept them for over a week. I know for sure the wine would have been undrinkable within 2 days without these devices. With them, the wine remained drinkable for over a week. Of note, the red lasted ten days before I drank it all and was tasting perfectly decanted and fully opened on the last glass. The white did not fare as well as and I tasted oxidation on the second day even. However, it did remain drinkable. The claim that the wine will actually close back up by this sucking oxygen out of the wine seems ridiculous. I don’t think you can reverse the chemical reactions taking place in the wine. And you can clearly taste that oxygen has gotten to the wine. (Of course, In the case of the Zinfandel, it actually did the same thing as decanting, so a good thing.). I also think that although they say you can take 4 glasses out of the bottle, one at a time, that after the second opening the whites probably will go downhill significantly. My plan going forward is to use the Coravin on expensive bottles, the Repours on medium priced bottles, and of course with cheap bottles I don’t worry about it.

Having now tested the Repour on a dozen bottles over a few months, I can say that it has enabled me to finally start enjoying my cellar. Previously I was unwilling to open a bottle by myself but with Repour I started to explore and taste my wines again. I even started to write about them online. Repour works very well up to two weeks in the fridge (37’F) with half a standard bottle remaining. Over a few nights, I did not detect any change in the character of the wine. Over two weeks, the wine loses a little complexity. Repour won’t work for a month because of oxygen that gets inside the wine liquid when it is initially poured. I love the simplicity of use. With Coravin, you need to plan ahead and the application is always a hassle. With Repour, you just put the cork on whenever you’re done tasting for the day. My fridge just about fits a tall Riesling bottle with the Repour on. One way I can tell it works is the vacuum (pressure reduction) it creates inside the bottle when left on. The seals works very well for all sorts of bottles. Conversely, it won’t stay on a bottle of sparkling. At $1.5 per bottle, this is a no-brainer. The Repour marks the end of the Coravin monopoly.

difficult to fit in standard wine bottles. Doesn't seem to help much my gas that I use is better.
