If you find yourself pouring wine down the drain because it went bad before you drank it, have I got the thing for you. It’s called Vacu Vin, and it sucks air out of the wine bottle, prolonging its life a little longer. This box contains the pump with two stoppers, which are reusable.
I use mine all the time and have an extra one that’s never been opened.
I decided, once I read about this wonderful idea called The Bloggy Giveaway, that I would give this one away instead of letting it collect dust. All you have to do is leave a wine-related comment on this post, and I will choose a random winner this Friday, April 25.
Though I love international readers, due to shipping costs, I can only send this to readers in the U.S.
Head over to that link at Don’t Try This at Home to see all the other great contests! Lots of fun things to win. I’ve got my eye on some gift cards….
I’m enjoying a nice glass of Cabernet Franc from Fox Run Vineyards here in New York State. I’d love to be able to preserve it with that doohickey!
…it always feels good to WiNe a bit

I’d love this – I never can finish a bottle of wine in one sitting! And if anyone knows where I can find Penfolds Rawson’s Retreat Semillon Chardonnay in the Dallas area, please contact me – I’m having a hard time finding it, and it’s one of my favorite white wines.
My husband just bought me a bottle of my favorite local White Merlot. This would be so handy to have. I have friends who love theirs.
Thanks for the Great Give away.
Looks great! Thanks for the giveaway!
I have a mini-bar set up in my home. Needless to say we’re huge wine fans. This would come in handy. Thanks.

This would be very useful, now I won’t have to drink the whole bottle. Just kidding. I really like dessert wines. Thanks for the chanc.e

[...] Behind the Vine – Wine lovers will love Vacu Vin [...]
We belong to the wine of the month club and this would totally get good use at our house.
I’ve used “flat” wine for seasoning when cooking ;-) …although I’d prefer to have this handy little gadget! Thanks for offering it!
A friend loves wine! I would love to give this to her!
Thank you!
Well, I don’t often have leftover wine, but when I do I need a way to keep it fresh.
Thanks for the giveaway!
Since my husband doesn’t drink wine I rarely finish a whole bottle without having to pour some out. This would go to great use in my house. Save the grapes! :)
I was thinking on giving this to my mother in law if I won but she would have no use for it because her wine never stays long enough in the bottle to go bad. :)
Thank you for the great giveaway!

Well, I will tell you that my brother who lives alone and loves to open a bottle of wine, but only drinks one glass at most would totally benefit from this. I thought hmm.. I’ll get him some 1/2 bottles of wine, this way he won’t waste so much. BUT! he had the hardest time getting the synthetic cork back in the bottle, you think it’s hard getting in the 750 ml, well, he chiseled away at it for 5 mins. before it would fit back in. I truly think he needs a vacu-vin. :)
Cheers, P
Since it takes us a month to drink a bottle of wine, this would be perfect for us.
Thanks for the chance to win!

What a neat gadget! I’m so tired of buying wine in those four packs of little bottles! Not much of a selection there! I’d love to try something different, knowing it wouldn’t go to waste if we didn’t drink the whole bottle right away!
We drink lots of wine made right here in California, this would be great!
I drink red wine every night. I tell myself it is for the health benefits, but really, I just love wine.
I’m not much of a wine drinker, but my parents do enjoy a glass most evenings–this would be a terrific way for them to not have to finish a bottle every time ;)
