Amazon.com Review
A glass of champagne is one of life’s finest pleasures, but for many of us, more than that adds up to a headache served in a stylish flute. But what to do with those opened and unfinished bottles? Like wine, champagne both changes its taste and loses its heavenly bubbles when exposed to air. The Vacu Vin champagne saver solves the problem with a unique locking design that re-seals the bottle after every use. Simply raise the lever to open and pour; the surface of the Vacu Vin prevents drips and returns excess champagne to the bottle. Closing the same lever keeps the champagne fresh and full of bubbles, letting you enjoy the same bottle for several days without wasting a drop. --Mary Park

Customer Reviews

I couldn't make it work.
While one of the other reviewers states that it only works on some types of champagne bottles, I couldn't get it to work at all. I tried it on two different shapes of bottles, but to no avail. The problem is that the ring that is supposed to slide down the neck to secure the stopper doesn't slide when it's on the bottle. When off the bottle, the mechanism works fine. It appears to me that the stopper must be made for a specific bottle and not for most champagne bottles in general. At least that was my experience. I found a good $3.00 stopper at Sur la Table that works just fine and is not dependent on the shape of the champagne bottle. It doesn't have the fancy pour spout, but at least it keeps the bubbles in the champagne.

It Works Well on Most Bottles !
When fitted tightly and sealed, this saver works very well indeed. It does not work on all bottle necks, however, such as the longer, more narrow bottle necks. Still, I'm satisfied enough to buy it again because it works so well on most of the champagnes that we buy.

Fits all bottles I've tried, works well
I'm puzzled that some people find the item doesn't fit some bottles of champagne. I've used it on at least 15 different brands of champagne and a few brands of American and Italian bubbly, and it has worked on all of them. You have to pull up the lower ring, push the pourer firmly down on the bottle, and then slide the ring down, which will snap into position. The bubble keeps for several days. I recommend it highly.
