Review of Vacu Vin Concerto Wine Saver Set

Of course you can't get all the air out of the bottle (a perfect vacuum), but I was surprised that this worked at all.Yet, with the partial vacuum this produces, the wine lasts noticeably longer.E.g. normally I'd find wine undrinkable after 3 or 4 days, but with this technology, it was drinkable and enjoyable (although not perfect... can still taste some oxidation.

I'd advise, particularly with a red wine, that you open a bottle, pour out a couple glasses you're planning to drink, then immediately seal up the bottle.Let the wine breathe in the glasses.

Keep in mind, if you half-empty a bottle, then that's a lot of oxidizing air that can ruin the wine.But, e.g. if I drink a glass of wine or two from a bottle, so there isn't much air in it, and use this to vacuum out the air, the wine will be drinkable a couple days later, whereas otherwise it wouldn't be.Usually, I use this to save wine for cooking, I must admit.

It works well and easily... you pump a few times until you hear a little musical clicking-like sound that tells you it's at full strength vacuum, which happens sooner or later depending on how little air is in the bottle.

So, my 5 star rating isn't saying "oh, the wine will be good a month later" or "you'll never tell the difference at all"... but I'm simply saying that it helps, and helps enough that I use it and like it.Which is all you can expect from wine anyway.Note, that I have a fairly good palate, I do have a fine ability to smell and distinguish tastes, but I'm no great conoisseur.I can certainly taste oxidation, however, and this helps quite a bit.
