We sent these wine stoppers to our experienced food reviewer, who tested them side-by-side. She used each one to seal an open bottle of wine, and tasted the wine at intervals over the course of a week. She assessed how easy the stoppers were to use, how easy they were to clean, and, perhaps most importantly, whether or not they were effective at protesting an open bottle of wine from oxidation. Keep in mind that while this stopper has rubber rings to help seal the bottle, which keeps the wine fresher, the seal isn’t airtight. Furthermore, the ornament is a bit heavy and large, so it isn’t practical for side storage; and it's not dishwasher-safe. Still, it comes in a gift box, so it's great for gifting.

Accordingly, you want to avoid having these rings at the end of your blade. Instead, place them about 6 to 8 inches (15.24 to 20.32 cm) from the point where the blade and shaft meet. This may vary from person to person, but a general rule of thumb is not to place them too close to the blade. Wax has broad applications across numerous industries due to its water-repelling properties. Paraffin wax creates a seal against moisture adherence to the surface, which effectively prevents water damage and acts as a hydrophobe. Paddle drip rings are easy to install. Just use your hands to place them on the paddle, and adjust them until you find the perfect position suitable for you. 2. Use or Spray a Hydrophobic Coating To use, first seal the bottle with the included rubber stopper. Then, use the Vacu Vin pump to draw out until there’s resistance.

Some are made with cork; others use silicone or rubber to provide the seal. While they are designed to provide an airtight seal to keep your wine fresh, some are also funky or elegant in their looks. From monograms to a variety of colors and shapes, wine stoppers can not only keep your wine happy and fresh but provide a cute or elegant topper, too. According to Rich Buchanan, the Senior Brand Education Manager at Moët Hennessy, “The primary factor is to protect the wine from excessive oxygen that can shift flavors, color, and the general condition of the wine.” That process is known as oxidation, and the longer it goes on, the more a wine loses its luster. Stoppers don't literally preserve wine, but more slow the oxidation process down.

Just note that while this device also functions as a regular wine stopper, the bottle must be stored upright, or it will leak. So, it’s best to leave the bottle on the top shelf of your fridge for maximum freshness. Note that due to this, it's also not the best long-term storage option.

We were surprised at how fresh the wine tasted. The bubbles were well-preserved, and the beverage was nowhere near flat. When you pour a glass of wine, the space you create in the bottle fills with air. The air goes to work on the wine, in a process known as oxidation. While some oxygen can bring out the best in wine, over the course of a few days the airflow will mute the flavors and cause the wine to spoil. Vacuum sealers are designed to pump air out of wine bottles and slow down that process. Vacu Vin’s Wine Saver Pump and Stoppers brought this technology to the masses, and the original model is still one of the best. For best results, dry your paddles properly before applying the wax. Next, rub the paraffin wax on the entire surface of your paddle blades, ensuring that you do not miss a spot. You can rub off the excess wax using a clean, dry towel. 4.
