When shopping for these replacement corks, I was trying to find a review to confirm that the new style corks work with the old style pump. I took the chance that they would, and happily found that the new design corks work with old design pump.

Please, Vacu Vin, won't you bring back the old design?! Those slightly softer ones with the slit on the top and three ridges on the bottom? The ones that don't, on occasion, slip up in the bottle, leaving wine oxidized -- the ones that don't fall out in transit, spoiling a cooler's content with spilt wine? I have a couple of the old ones left and am guarding them with great care, so as not to lose one of these precious, quality stoppers. Won't you please make these again? You could even call them "deluxe" and sell them for 50% more. One bottle of spilt or stale wine would make it worth a return to quality -- and I have had three such disappointment with this design.

This vacuum pump system works well enough to keep a bottle of wine good for up to a week or more. Having more than one stopper on hand is useful when you don't want to drink the same wine every night or when you live with someone whose preference differs from yours.

Having a set of extra stoppers is especially useful in the aftermath of a house party, when you may have several half-empty bottles of wine left over.

These stoppers last very well. They don't dry or crack, even when washed frequently in the dishwasher. It is convenient to have a stopper available even when the others are waiting for the dishwasher to be run.

These are great! However you NEED the VacuVin PUMP to make them use. Don't try to use them without the pump as they will not stay in secure, and will not keep your wine fresh. You're better off using a piece of plastic over the bottle if then to just try ordering these corks without first having the pump.

With the pump these work great and are necessary as extras. Just make sure you take them apart and wash them in hot soapy water before using.

Also, both times I ordered these extras they came in a plastic zip lock bag with an amazon label. So I think Amazon must get a batch of them in and seperate them by hand.

I've used this system for years, and it certainly extends the life of open wine. I have not left open wine at room temperature so I don't know whether that works. The seals on the stoppers eventually wear out so it helps to have extras. I consider the claim that it will keep wine for up to two weeks to be overly optimistic.

This is a nice product to have especially if you enjoy opening more than one bottle of wine at a time. The wine keeps in the fridge very nicely with the help of this item!!

I have had this system for at least 2 yrs and it has worked very well for me. I find that it keeps the wine fresher for a longer period as long as it is properly refrigerated. I cannot attest to nonrefrigerated wines using this system as I always refrigerate my wine after opening.

Maybe it's just that old habits are hard to break, but the old stoppers seemed more forgiving when pumping down, and had a little more sealing surface. Still a great solution.

We lost some of our winer saver stoppers and needed replacements. I'm happy that the new design stoppers work with the old design pump, as other reviewers have found. This is a good and simple product!

These are effective for keeping wine from going stale from air exposure. It is nice to be able to replace the worn out stoppers without buying a new pump.
