Repour Wine Saver and Stopper - Removes Oxygen, Preserving and Keeping Wine As Fresh As The Day The Bottle Was Opened - 48-Pack - Black

I saw that these have been lab tested, but I decided to do a bit of a field experiment of my own. I figured I’d pour one glass, install a repour, pour 2 glasses the next week (to get more air into the bottle and really test this thing), then wait two weeks and pour a 3rd glass, and wait 1 more week and pour the last glass left in the bottle. A 28-day test. OK, I don’t have a Ph.D. in anything much less in Chemistry, but I was able to enlist a NASA scientist friend who has a Ph.D. in Planetary Science to vet my protocol, supervise the experiment, and of course… to help me taste the wine! lol. In the interest of truly furthering science, we selected a delicious 2013 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon to be our test subject. We chose a 4 week duration because the probability that any bottle of wine would make it that long in either of our households without being fully consumed approaches zero. Thus, if confirmed by tasting, the probability that a single repour would truly last an entire bottle with no degradation, in our households, approaches 1. Results First Pour: Delicious. After 1 Week - 2 glasses: Delicious After 3 Weeks - 1 glass: Delicious After 4 Weeks - last glass: Delicious We noted at each taste that the wine required a little time to open up, just as the first glass did. We thought the last glass may have taken a little less time to open up, but because when exactly it has “opened up” is subjective, and because an unprecedented 4 weeks had passed since the bottle was opened, we could not rule out expectation bias. Regardless, the wine did not deteriorate in flavor, color, or aroma - at all - from beginning to end. Conclusion: These things are bloody brilliant! Not only have I not wasted any wine since I got them, but they’ve made it possible to pair wines better. For example, on a lazy Saturday I could have a glass of Viognier with brunch, a glass or two of Rosé in the afternoon, a glass of Pinot Noir with a snack later, and then a glass or two of hearty red with dinner. I could never do that because it would be 4 leftover bottles I’d have to either drink up on Sunday - and I tend not to drink on work nights - or dump out. The best I ever got out of wine preserver sprays was two days, and still with some noticeable change in flavor. With these, keeping the opened bottles until next weekend and well beyond is possible! No more spraying wine preserver in the bottles and keeping them in the fridge only to have them croak after a couple of days. At only a buck each for 72, even saving half a bottle of $5 plonk saves $2.50 worth of wine so I'm $1.50 ahead. The savings go way up with more expensive wine. I may not know how to brew fame and bottle glory, but now I can put a stopper on death ;-) 100% recommended. Go ahead and buy 72 of them for a buck each - they work! Hmmm… Now that I think of it, that should be his motto: Repour. Put a Stopper on Death. haha

Love it! Keeping my wine fresh after opening! Great!

I usually do not drink expensive wine, however, I am the only one drinking the wine, and a typical bottle lasts 3 days for me. So, I may have an opened red and white in my refrigerator at any given time. I have tried the gases in the can system, and none of them have worked so well and are as simple to use as Repour. I have used 2 different brands of those gases in the can that use Argon gas, for example. This is just OK. I find it is difficult to tell when the can no longer has gas in it. Even when the can is new, I found this only moderately effective: Red wine, especially, would need to be discarded, as it got sour anyway. I also used one of those battery-operated wine aerators, leaving that on the bottle until I used up the bottle, and filling it with Argon gas. I still had to discard the red wine, since it soured before I finished it. And with this procedure, I wasn't even re-opening the bottle between pours, because the aerator remained on the bottle! So, the Argon gas or other gas system is just moderately effective, in my experience. -----I am so surprised how easy to use and effective the Repour is! I can now drink my red wine down to the last drop, and it doesn't sour!----- So, problem solved, at last! I have not tried the needle in the wine bottle solution. In my opinion, that system is only worth it if you have expensive wine that you want to save. I have not tried the Repour for a long period of time, where you want to save better wine for a long time, but it may be great for that, as well. I am saying that it is excellent for everyday wine so that you don't have to discard the bottle before it sours, which has solved my particular problem, and I think others have a similar problem. That is my experience with it.

Works fairly well. Nothing like this is perfect, but this will keep wine a few days. You will still notice a bit of degradation in Dry Reds after a day or so. Not much and it it better than nothing at all.

These corks extend the life of my red wines. I usually have 1-2 glasses at dinnertime maybe 2x per week. With these corks, at least I can make the bottle last about 10 days, and not throw out much if any red wine.

Can’t wait to be able to save my good wines for days!

Since December, I had been happily using Repour stoppers to save opened bottles of fine wine for another day. It seemed like a great solution— though not eco-friendly and not inexpensive—for enjoying a pricey bottle without having to finish it in one evening. After many months of great results, I reopened a bottle sealed with a Repour stopper for more than the usual day or two—closer to a week later. To my shock, the wine was completely spoiled and turned into something horrid like I had never experienced. The wine wasn’t simply flat or spoiled in a way you might expect, like vinegar. The wine tasted chemically toxic in a very disturbing way. I wasn’t sure what happened until I turned to the negative reviews on Amazon, where they are many similar reports (see for yourself). Repour claims on the packaging to save wine for “days, weeks, months” and either that’s a gross exaggeration or the manufacturing process lacks quality control and a certain number of flawed stoppers reach consumers. The product may need to be withdrawn from sale and reengineered with a quality indicator, so you know the stopper is good. At the very least, the package advertising should be rewritten to indicate the product is good to use for no more than perhaps 2-3 days, after that you may not count on it. It should also carry a warning label. I threw away my remaining few stoppers.

Doesnt work. A vaccum stopper works better

These work great! Easily saves wine for up to 2 weeks if stored in a cool, dark environment. (Have never had it any longer) Love being able to enjoy the wine over a period of time to see how it evolves. Brilliant!

Really good and works. Possibly takes some nose away but the wine keeps really well and I’ve used it to keep wine a week so I can open couple of bottles, have a glass or two of each then next week go again. On half decent or wine costing a bit it’s well worth the £2 a stopper. They can only be used once but you can use a few times on same bottle limiting stopper back in but I’ve used them as a one shot to preserve. Brilliant and just what I needed.

I've been using Repours for years - so handy as a single, and the fact that you don't have to drink an entire bottle of win in one sitting is great!

Conserva bem por 3 semanas

Ich habe 4 Repour mit 4 verschiedenen Weinen ausprobiert. Alles hochpreisige Weine $ 70-180. Jeder Wein war anfänglich fehlerfrei. Kein Korkfehler noch sonstige Anomalität. Jede Flasche wurde nur mit 1 Repour neu verschlossen und über max. 5 Tage angebrochen im Weinkühlschrank aufbewahrt. 2-3mal geöffnet und gleich wiederverschlossen. Wir haben dies an einer Weinmesse ausprobiert. Somit professionell getestet. Das Ergebnis ist nicht zufriedenstellend. Keine Oxidation - das ist korrekt, aber es muss eine weitere Rekation mit den Weinen stattfinden. Ausnahmslos alle Weine waren anschliessend aromatisch stumpf, hatten eine krautige, beinahe chemische Aromatik. Wir kennen die Weine und können mit Bestimmheit sagen, dass sich die Aromatik aller Weine in allen 4 Fällen negativ entwickelt haben und kaum mehr mit dem Ursprungsaroma zu vergleichen waren. Dies nicht nur in der Nase sondern auch gustatorisch am Gaumen. Wir werden wohl die restlichen 21 nicht gebrauchten Repour-Stopfen wegwerfen. Das Produkt ist professionell nicht zu gebrauchen. Und privat wird es wohl auch keinen Spass bereiten.
