The description "Vacu Vin Wine Saver Concerto - Black - 1 Pump 2 Stoppers - Wine Stoppers for Bottles with Vacuum Pump and Pourer - Reusable - Made in the Netherlands" is incorrect. There is no pourer. The included instructions in the box were for the Vacu Vin Cooler rather than the Wine Saver, but instructions are readily available online and use is pretty obvious other than perhaps people not knowing to pump until they hear a click.The product itself is good! I had purchased an Oxo wine preserver with 2 stoppers, since it was available at a local store, and it was useless; both stoppers lost vacuum in less than one hour. With some trepidation, I decided to order the similar Vacu Vin product. The pump is not as pretty as the Oxo, and the handle is not as comfortable, but functionally the Vacu Vin is far superior to the Oxo. The pump seems to pull more air out in a single stroke. The stoppers have the Vacu Vin feature of making a click when you've reached sufficient vacuum (vs the Oxo just saying to pump until you felt resistance, which was not really sufficient). And, the main thing is, the stoppers actually hold a vacuum! As a test, I sealed an empty bottle on a Tuesday afternoon and checked it the following Saturday morning. It only required 2 pumps to get the click again, so hardly any vacuum leakage.

I love the VacuVin. I'm replacing an old one that's not working well anymore. The product really goes a long way in preserving the flavor of wines. Taste test the next night one bottle pumped and one bottle not pumped, and you'll notice a big difference.

seals the wine for later use and I like the "click" feature when the vacuum is at its maximum

Great sealing system, definitely keeps the wine good on the counter for a few days no problem!

This thing really works. I had a 1.5 liter bottle of Cabernet that I drank over the course of a week. I used it from the start and it kept the wine fresh. By the end of the bottle it took over 20 pumps to get the air out, but it worked.

First one delivered was defective (would not pull full vacuum or make the “click” sound) but after processing an easy replacement, the vacuum pump works flawlessly and really works to keep wine fresh. I’ve noted little degradation of an open bottle of wine on my counter after several days - my previous method of a wine stopper would result in totally different tasting wine after that amount of time. For the price, this is a great tool for wine lovers of all types.

1, Reason why I chose :I've tried several different bottle caps to keep the left over wine fresh. Finally, sommelier friend told me to give a try on this.2, Like & Dislike :Well, at the very beginning, how long do you think is a fair period of life time for a $2 rubber cap? One year or 3 years?Before I bought this, I was told that a cap is made our of rubber and it's a consumable goods, so it will not function at some point, that is depending on how frequently I use or how long the cap is with air pressure. So, I understood that and bought it.I first purchased the 4 bottle cap set. We drink half of the bottle (2 glasses) almost daily. So the piece gets set on the bottle every other day. Just to see how it works, I was counting how often and long it was used.One cap was used for a little over 90 times, it started becoming weak. Then it was leaking and died. $2 cap was used over times and last for about 6 month.I thought this wasn't bad at all. Compare to other air sealed caps I've tried in the past, it is well worth the price.At least, while the cap was in operable condition, we were enjoying great many bottles of wines in same great taste.After 6 month of purchase, I knew this thing would keep the left over wine fresh for at least few days, so I was no longer worried to open several wines at the dinner especially when we were invite friends.For our usage, this would keep the wine quality great for 2 to 3 days. It is deepening on wines, but that's our average. So, I try not use this for more than 3 days.Pumping device has been working for over 500 bottles without any problems. Top handle shaped kind of stylish. So, I've been careful to hold the handle as I pump, especially toward the end of pump when there is less air to pump out. I should say this is made pretty durable.This may effect manufacture's marketing tactics, but they could be honest and indicate average life of rubber cap. So, buyers are aware of how long they could use in good working condition.3, Recommend this product to :Anyone from professionals to home users.

I like wine. Sometimes I like a lot. Sometimes I just want a "taster". Usually depends on my kids. (just kidding)After many years of throwing away half drunk (drank?) bottles of wine, I did some research on my options to preserve the rest of the bottle. I found it in the Vacu Vin Concerto 5-Piece Wine Saver Set.The "Concerto" refers to the fact that it makes a "musical" sound when you've effectively sucked all the air out of the bottle. In this case, both the word musical and concerto are a real stretch. I really didn't know what to expect on the "musical" front and finally figured out that the clicking sound was what I was waiting for(much like the top of a sealed jelly jar when you push down on it).It's very easy (unless you're actually trying to save half a glass at the bottom of a large bottle, then get ready for a workout. By the time you're done, you'll be ready to re-open it and finish off that last bit).Don't expect it to keep your wine indefinitely. You're not resealing it anew. But it'll easily save it for several days.It's definitely worth the money. It has paid for itself many times over in unwasted wine.
