Amazon.com Review

Convertible with the push or pull of a button, the pump in this set either draws air from an open wine bottle or injects air into an open sparkling-wine bottle. In either case, it preserves the wine by resealing the bottle using the special stoppers included--two for wine and one for sparkling wine. The stoppers fit into a bottle, the pump fits onto the stoppers and about 15 gentle pumps later--voila!--wine stays fresh for another day. The 6-inch-high pump and three stoppers store in a black-plastic countertop holder. --Fred Brack

Product Description

The Epivac wine and champagne preserving pump is the world's first dual function vacuum / pressure pump. The wine function removes air from the bottle, preventing further fermentation and preserves your wine for days. The champagne function pumps air into the bottle, preventing the dissipation of the bubbles and preserves your champagne for days. The set includes a stand, a patented dual function preserving pump, 2 color-coordinated wine stoppers, 1 champagne stopper and instructions. Gift boxed. 6 inches

3.0 out of 5 stars actually erik is right, February 10, 2004
By Moowk (Moowkland) - See all my reviews
Erik was right. He is not "advocating bad physics". The pressure function of this product does not preserve the ability of the wine to make bubbles after you pour it, any better than an extremely airtight stopper. See for example the Pedrini champagne stopper sold here on Amazon. So this product works, but not because you pump air into the bottle with it. It works because it lets no CO2 out. You cannot keep CO2 in solution by increasing the air pressure inside the bottle. CO2 will always diffuse out into the space above the wine. The amount of CO2 dissolved in the wine stabilizes only when there is enough CO2 above the liquid so that it enters and leaves solution at the same rate (equilibrium). The pressure of the other gases above the wine does not prevent the CO2 from entering or leaving solution. This is known as Henry's Law. An unopened champagne bottle has 3 or 4 atmospheres of CO2 gas (produced by yeast after bottling) above the wine. So unless you pump it with 3 or 4 atm of CO2 and let it sit awhile, it will never be as fizzy as when you opened it. Nitrogen and oxygen are about 10 times less soluble in water than CO2, so you would need 30 or 40 atm of pressure to get the same amount of gas into the wine!

4.0 out of 5 stars great combination of style and function, August 30, 2002
By A Customer
It works as well and as easily as it claims to, except that I don't know when to stop pumping, so I always just keep at it for a while for good measure. The pumping action isn't too difficult or strenuous. I chose this over other brands of wine vacuum sealers primarily because of the style, since the basic principle and function was the same across all brands.

Definitely get the extra stoppers. (They're color coordinated, too! I love the particular shade of blue they chose.) Even though you may not usually have more than 2 open bottles of wine in the house at any one time, there will be times when you want to open up another variety or vintage, just for comparison or for the heck of it. You won't be obligated to finish a half-bottle of wine just because you can't open another bottle for lack of stoppers.

I'm very satisfied with this purchase, and would have given it 5 stars if it were more obvious when the sealing process was complete.

5.0 out of 5 stars Holds Vacuum on wine for weeks, August 10, 2006
By Foodie "Foodie" (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews
I've had this product for 3 or 4 years, adn keep loosing the stoppers, but I keep buying more because it does a great job of sealing a $20 bottle of wine, and keeping a vacuum in the bottle for weeks - ie: no air- no oxidation = continued great wine. This way I can dring a glass of good wine any night, and have the rest whenever I like.

Greatest wine stopper ever - by far!

2.0 out of 5 stars Mediocre Wine Saver
This item was an exciting find for me, but clumsy to use on some wine bottles and not made of very good quality materials. The cover doesn't fit that well and cracked in shipping.
