Genuine Fred corky seals your opened wine bottle as the ultimate fun wine preserver. Keep the zest in your zin, the mmmm in your merlot; just put a cork in it.

Works surprisingly well with some caveats

I have a FoodSaver vacuum pump that I usually use for wine storage but it's so hard to get it out so I decided to try this product. I wasn't expecting too much as manual vacuuming doesn't usually work that well. Well, I have to admit that this little contraption surprised me. It passed my first crucial test – I could put the bottle in the fridge up to my neck with wine and nothing spilled. As far as I can tell the wine still tasted pretty fresh after about 5 days so the STOPPER seems to be…

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Some bugs

A Smarter Alternative to Vacu Vin

I would call this Vacu Vin Wine Saver Pump with 2 Vacuum Bottle Caps - Black without Bottle Caps - a general purpose vacuum wine cap. Small wine corks have fallen into the sink several times in the garbage chute; With this device, I expect this to be less of an issue. The inexpensive Corky cork fits most wine bottles and you simply press the fake looking plastic cork onto the top of the bottle, squeeze a few times until it becomes more difficult and excess air is sucked out. No, it won't save…

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
  • Big and Bulky

Out of service: kitchen and dining room

You are probably familiar with standard pumps that click when the air is completely removed. I thought it would be a clever twist on that concept, except instead of the boring gray pump we could have something that looks like a wine cork but works just as well. Unfortunately, the thing is far inferior to conventional plastic pumps. The first problem is that it's hard to tell when you've exhausted all the air. According to the instructions the cork no longer bulges, but in my experience the cork

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • old

Cork works well as a wine stopper but not for storing wine

The Corky Wine Vacuum Pump is designed to preserve wine by removing excess air from the bottle after opening. The black rubber end is inserted into the neck of the bottle and you pump the artificial cork until you can no longer pump to deflate. Artificial cork looks quite realistic and beautiful. I've tried Corky with champagne and white wine bottles and it works with both and should work with most bottles (although I can't say it works with all bottles). The cork works great as a regular…

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than other picks
