... there are two models of VacuVin Winesaver out there and the most recent ( the ONLY model sold at this website) is touted by the manufacturer as totally different in design and functionality. Having used both pumps I can tell you this Concerto is smoother to operate, very positively achieves a vacuum , and the ergonomic handle is more comfortable. A really neat feature is the special vacuum indicator that clicks when enough vacuum is made. In fact, I'm told, Concerto Wine Saver achieves the optimum vacuum for wine storage and preservation, too much vacuum will spoil wine. That's the most important advantage of new Concerto over VacuVin's original Wine Saver; perfect vacuum! So how does it work ?
To operate Concerto Wine Saver, simply put a Concerto rubber stopper (2 included and extra are available) in the open bottle top, place Concerto Wine Saver pump atop the rubber stopper and pump the handle until clicking is heard. Clicking signifies a sufficient vacuum has been made, removing just the right amount of air and preventing oxidation, thus preserving taste.
It's important to know,these stoppers are an improved design that maximizes the vacuum seal. Further, the No Drip Wine Server accessory, fits snugly on the bottle top and accepts the Concerto rubber stopper. What does this mean ? Well, both the rubber stopper/sealer and No-drip server remain in place on the wine bottle so you won't have to fumble or lose anything ! Your wine is saved until the next sitting and may be preserved repeatedly with the Concerto Wine Saver. New Concerto wine saver is really the ultimate wine saver to own and truly represents a step up in quality of design and functionality!
