Product Description

Amazon.com Review

If the party is over but there's still some wine left, don't worry about the vino losing its flavor and freshness: use these handy stainless-steel wine savers. Just place the wine saver on top of the opened bottle and push the lever down. The black rubber "cork" is pulled up against the sides of the bottle, forming a seal. The lever will then rest out of the way against the bottle. To unseal, simply flip the lever up and pull the wine saver out of bottle. Comes in a set of two, for when you've opened both red and white wine. --Doree Armstrong

2.0 out of 5 stars most stoppers take the fifth, July 31, 2003

While most wine stopper ads feature no leak claims, stainless, chrome materials,etc, they seldom, if ever, discuss the most important detail......will it fit on my wine bottle??. Here lies the problem, a 750ml wine bottle typically has a neck opening outer diameter that is 29.0mm (1.14"). However, the 1.5l bottle has an outer diameter of 32.3mm (1.27").

This Hoffritz wine saver stopper only accomodates 750ml bottles with a 29.5mm (1.16")neck, thus does not fit correctly on the larger 1.5l wine bottles. The 1.5l bottle neck opening will not seat into the stopper opening flange. It would have been prudent if Hoffritz would indicate this limitation in their advertisement. I had to buy them and learn the hard way. But don't blame Hoffritz....I have a drawer full of mail-ordered stoppers with the same problem. Unfortunately, you really need to examine compression type wine stoppers to see if it will work on both bottle sizes.

...I give this 2 stars, as it will only work properly on one size bottle. Lots of us buy wine in the 1.5l bottles.

2.0 out of 5 stars Wine Savers? Only for a day..., December 4, 2001

I purchased the winesavers..however, do not count on them to save the wine for more than a day. They do not seal tight, and I did lose a bottle of wine that turned to vinegar after 2 days. Ok for a temporary measure for a few hours or less then a day..no more..

1.0 out of 5 stars Absolute junk!, November 9, 2006

I rarely write reviews, but this product was really awful: flimsy; and the levers broke off on first use. The plastic ones I bought at Williams-Sonoma a few years ago were MUCH better, but I couldn't find them anymore, so I thought I'd try these. I'd give them a negative star rating if I could. Do NOT waste your money.
