This works well with my relatively inexpensive vacuum sealer (Bonsenkitchen) using accessory mode and hose adapter . When I take the plug out of the wine bottle you can hear it pop so you know it worked.

These stoppers need the appropriate suction connection to work. I have a Food Saver with the attachment however I have not tried them as of yet. I don’t normally cork a bottle after I open it (Corks are for Quitters). Oxidation is the death of most food products. I expect them to work perfectly. If they don’t I’ll update the review.

When used with a vacuum pump (hose and pump separate) can keep open bottles of wine good for an extended period of time. Sorry, will not work on bottles of Champaign.

I was excited to get these thinking it'd help with sooooo many opened bottles of things. If they fit the bottle they do a great job. 3 of the 4 bottles I intended it for, it didn't fit. We have an old Food Saver so we have lots of attachments. I wouldn't reorder these or buy the counter top "sealer". They counter top sealer stopped working after less than 3 months. This bottles sealer is very inconsistent in fit.

I bought these bottle stoppers in hopes of protecting my Olive Oil and Marsala Wine from oxidation and ruination. To determine if they really remove the air, I began with a 2Liter bottle of soda that was 3/4gone. You can see from the collapse of the bottle, air was removed! It definitely vacuumed sealed the bottle. Next I vacuum sealed an empty wine bottle. After 5 minutes, I pulled the cork. Yep, there was a vacuum. Reinstalled the bottle stopper and ran the vacuum again until the vacuum sealer stopped….now we wait 24 hours and I will see if it retains any of the seal

If you already have a compatible vacuum sealer, these stoppers are great for halting air exposure. I actually find some wines taste better a few days after opening the bottle for the first time and then vacuum resealing.

These worked great. I use wine for cooking but I don't like buying the cheap grocery store wine. I don't use it very often so it was great to be able to store my marsala and white wines to be able to use them again.

These work very well, keeping red wine fresh for a whole week (half a glass consumed every day for about 6-7 days). I run the vacuum cycle twice to maximize the air removal. Stopper is very easy to remove.

I purchased these as a Warehouse Deal for roughly half the regular price as I really do not drink enough wine to spend the full price on them, and when I do open a bottle, it is usually finished the same day. But at $9 I couldn't resist when I came across them. Like every other accessory I have purchased to go with my FoodSaver 5200, these did not disappoint. I had opened a bottle of decent red wine when making a pot of spaghetti sauce and used one of these stoppers to seal the bottle. When I opened it up to take a glass a few days later, it tasted as fresh as when it was first opened. For the fun of it, I also used one on a bottle of sake with the same excellent results.Now these are not to be used for sparkling wine of any kind as removing the pressure from that would not be beneficial to the wine, but just for the fun of it, on NY Eve, I had opened a bottle of cheap bubbly to ring out the disaster that was 2020 but did not manage to finish it on my own, so I took one of these stoppers and simply pushed it in to close the bottle up as it is impossible to squeeze the cork back in as I figured a basic stopper would be better than leaving the bottle open in the fridge. I was totally expecting to find that the remainder of the bottle had gone totally flat the next day but was pleasantly shocked to find that it had lost little of the effervescence of the night before and was still very drinkable and made for nice mimosas on New Year's Day!If you are a regular wine drinker, they are well worth the cost. If you come across them on a Warehouse Deal or other special, and you even drink wine occasionally like myself, they are still worth grabbing.

I purchased these for $13.98 a month ago. Now they are advertised as a Prime Day Deal at 16.99 with 20% off. So where's the deal guys...we are not stupid. This is bad business...jacking up the prices and pretending they are on sale is not cool. I was going to buy more because they work great but after that shady practice, I'll pass.

Está muy bueno para preservar el vino. Saca el aire con la máquina de Food Saver, de lo que queda de vino en la botella y elVino dura más en buenas condiciones.

No tienes que terminarte la botella de vino cada vez, con esos tapones vuelves a guardar el vino restante y se conserva bien hasta un par de semanas.

The simple bottle stopper is one of the most valuable of the accessories for your FoodSaver. They work wonderfully for both wines and oils.We enjoy wine with out dinner several times a week. One of the problems we have had is that the wine left in the bottle often turned to vinegar before we finished it. Using the FoodSaver bottle stoppers has changed that. Wines stay good for two months, either in the refrigerator or pantry. Yes, I have tried a red for that long and compared it with a freshly opened one from my wine keeper. We have shifted to the 1.5 liter bottles of everyday chardonnay from the .75-liter. This alone will save us over $50 a year.Oils are another use of the bottle stoppers. Whether you realize it or not, oils start to turn after about six months of being opened (3 months for nut oils such as walnut). Although we buy small containers of oil, they normally last well beyond their shelf life except for the olive oil. Consequently, we use the bottle stoppers for the other oils including the peanut, walnut, canola, truffle-infused, chili and sesame oils. (Remember to keep the sesame oil in the refrigerator, even with the bottle stopper.)If you like wine or cook with a variety of oils these little jewels will pay for themselves in short order.
