Product Description
Metrokane Vacuum Pump Stoppers 4-pack - Metrokane 5578
Amazon.com Review
The Metrokane push-button stopper works in tandem with any Metrokane Rabbit or Save-the-Wine vacuum pump to preserve the freshness of a partially-consumed bottle of wine. To use, simply insert the stopper firmly into the bottle mouth, place the vacuum on top, and pump out as much air as possible. The lack of oxygen helps keeps the wine fresh for several days, and sometimes as long as two weeks. When you're ready to pour again, push the patented button on top of the stopper and the vacuum seal is released. Four stoppers are included in this set, so that four half-empty bottles of wine can be saved at any given time. --Ann Bieri

i thought the stoppers had the pump built into the stoppers. Without the pump its kinda worthless.
 Works great! June 27, 2009

I originally purchased the Houdini Wine Preserver Pump and Stopper Set from Target, and it came with two stoppers. Well, I found myself needing more than two stoppers so I purchased the Metrokane Vacuum Wine Stoppers, Set of 4. These are the same brand, Metrokane, as the Houdini stoppers. That wasn't very clear at first, but after a bit of research, I determined they were the same brand and interchangeable.
These work great, as did the original ones I bought from Target. I've never had one fail to hold a seal. I make sure that after each use, I rinse them in warm water so the ridges that seal stay soft. I've had a bottle of dessert wine in the fridge for months (don't know if its good anymore), but the seal has held.
Add these to your purchase! June 2, 2009

I bought the Metrokane Houdini Wine Preserver which is a small pump that uses these stoppers. The set has two. It's amazing how nice it is to open wine, NOT feel like 'that one' and then not HAVE to drink it because today's inexpensive wines turn ugly too quickly.
Just place in one of these stoppers, pump a few times and the wine's good for (so far) up to 9 days. It's like we've never opened the bottle.
I have now bought five sets...two for us, and three as gifts (along with the Preserver Pump)...worth every single penny!

Although these are called wine stoppers, a better name would be vacuum seals. We have enjoyed dining with wine daily for years, but we were discouraged there wasn't a way to preserve leftover wine. The vacuum pump and "seals" are a great way to truly preserve leftover wine for a few days without disappointment! The seals (and pump) last for a few years.
not this one April 15, 2009

Tried several different brands/types. This one was among those that failed - had air leaks more than once, even while brand new. Discarded.
