Vacu Vin Concerto Wine Saver Pump with 2 Black Vacuum Stoppers
Product description
Preserves opened wine for up to 10 days by extracting air from a bottle and slowing the oxidation that diminishes flavor and aroma.
What’s included: one handheld manual vacuum pump and two reusable black vacuum stoppers. The stoppers are made from BPA-free material and are sized to accommodate most standard wine bottle necks. Use by inserting a stopper into the bottle mouth, placing the pump over it, and pumping until an audible click indicates the seal is airtight.
The set is compact enough to store in a kitchen drawer or on a bar cart. The pump is manual with a simple piston mechanism; the click confirms you’ve reached the recommended vacuum level. Ideal for preserving red or white wines after a meal or during tastings.
Designed in the Netherlands, the system focuses on function: removal of air, easy resealing, and reuse of the stoppers. The two-piece set provides an immediate spare stopper so you can preserve more than one bottle at a time.
Pros
- Creates a clear audible seal
- Includes two BPA-free reusable stoppers
- Compact and easy to store
Cons
- Handle is basic and not very ergonomic
- Seal may be less secure if bottle is laid flat
- Printed instructions in package can be confusing
VerdictA straightforward, compact wine-preservation set that reliably reduces oxidation and keeps opened bottles tasting fresher for several days. The two BPA-free stoppers fit typical wine bottles and the manual pump signals when an airtight seal is achieved. Not the flashiest pump, but it performs the core job well.

A must-have for wine fans
Simple to use and great for making wine last several days.
-
Faby 5/5
No need to finish the bottle immediately
Very practical. It even signals when it’s time to stop pumping.

Christopher J. Thomas 5/5
Wish we’d bought it sooner
Excellent seal and very easy to use. I’m unsure about laying a bottle sideways, but upright it doesn’t leak. Would make a great gift for wine-drinking friends.

Solid replacement for a nonworking preserver
This unit replaced an older one that never sealed. It works well and you can hear a small click when the air is removed. Highly recommend.

Stronger suction than an earlier model I owned
I had another white Vacu Vin that didn’t evacuate as well. This one pulls more air out — much better performance.

Also useful for sake
Although made for wine, we use it on sake bottles and it helps slow the decline in flavor when stored in the fridge. Very useful.

Handy gadget but packaging was damaged
Really like the tool. Couldn’t give it as a present because the box arrived crushed by shipping.

David Patterson 5/5
Listing mentioned an extra piece, but the pump performs well
The product listing included an item that wasn’t in the box and the printed instructions were for a different product, but online directions are clear. The pump isn’t as refined as another brand I tried, yet it draws more air per stroke and maintains the vacuum where the other stoppers failed.

Belou 5/5
Practical and effective
Extremely easy to use and keeps wine tasting fresh far longer than a cork alone. I’ve served wine after a week and it tasted acceptable to a picky drinker. Works well.
