FoodSaver Bottle Stoppers

I would give these 10 stars if possible. These work wonderfully to keep my red wines good for several weeks - especially if they are kept in the fridge. One caution is cleaning. Only wipe down - do not get moisture inside. Very durable and easy to use.

The simple bottle stopper is one of the most valuable of the accessories for your FoodSaver. They work wonderfully for both wines and oils. We enjoy wine with out dinner several times a week. One of the problems we have had is that the wine left in the bottle often turned to vinegar before we finished it. Using the FoodSaver bottle stoppers has changed that. Wines stay good for two months, either in the refrigerator or pantry. Yes, I have tried a red for that long and compared it with a freshly opened one from my wine keeper. We have shifted to the 1.5 liter bottles of everyday chardonnay from the .75-liter. This alone will save us over $50 a year. Oils are another use of the bottle stoppers. Whether you realize it or not, oils start to turn after about six months of being opened (3 months for nut oils such as walnut). Although we buy small containers of oil, they normally last well beyond their shelf life except for the olive oil. Consequently, we use the bottle stoppers for the other oils including the peanut, walnut, canola, truffle-infused, chili and sesame oils. (Remember to keep the sesame oil in the refrigerator, even with the bottle stopper.) If you like wine or cook with a variety of oils these little jewels will pay for themselves in short order.

Got a set of these with the idea of using them to keep wine and specialty oils/vinegars (olive, walnut, sesame, etc.) fresh. After a couple of weeks, I can say a few things: - I have had one attempt to seal a bottle fail on the first try, but then work on the second try with the same stopper and bottle (10 days and counting now). Every other sealing attempt worked fine the first time. So, it's probably a good idea to check the stopper after a day to make sure that it worked. - Fit is perfect for wine bottles. However, I did not anticipate that most oil/vinegar bottles would come with a plastic pour insert that's difficult/impossible to remove, and even when removable the stoppers often wouldn't always work with the bottle opening size. - For oils/vinegars, you can buy cheap bottles in the housewares department of your local department store. I got a small/medium bottle for $3/4 at a local store, and they included metal pouring spouts for dispensing; an even smaller bottle was only 99 cents at the local dollar store. - Even cheaper, if somewhat larger and more cumbersome, you can re-use wine bottles as storage containers. Brown-tinted are the best, as they'll block the most damaging light rays and keep your fluids fresher. Took away a star for the possibility of the occasional failed seal, and the bottle issues. But I liked them enough to order a second set.

This works well with my relatively inexpensive vacuum sealer (Bonsenkitchen) using accessory mode and hose adapter . When I take the plug out of the wine bottle you can hear it pop so you know it worked.

What a great accessory for a 10 year old machine. I wish I had bought these before. I got the idea to look for them since I saw that the newer model of the FoodSaver system already comes with a similar attachment. I was thinking of upgrading when I found these! I have already enjoyed my Foodsaver for a long while and saved tons by keeping coffee beans and freezing meats vacuum-packed, now I can enjoy my wine longer after opening a bottle. My wife and I enjoy very different types of wine, now we don't need to compromise, and a bottle will keep tasting great for a week if we want to keep it that long:) Another benefit is that we can taste different wines and seal them. The longest I have tried to keep a bottle after opening has been a week, I will try to extend that period and see if it starts to deteriorate. A week has been perfect though. The only thing I do not like (not enough to knock a star off) is that the product looks dated. It should be sleek and modern, dark colors.

We bought these FoodSaver Bottle Stoppers for sealing open wine bottles with our FoodSaver V3835 Vacuum Food Sealer with SmartSeal Technology . These have performed very well and have never lost vacuum for us. They are plastic with a hole in the top that acts as a port for the vacuum hose attachment. It just takes a few seconds to get the bottle sealed after you insert the stopper and start the vacuum. I was also surprised that my Actron CP7830 Hand Vacuum Pump does work on this as well. These work pretty much as expected and certainly will save us from having pouring out questionable wine that has sat opened on the counter too long. Recommended! CFH

I was excited to get these thinking it'd help with sooooo many opened bottles of things. If they fit the bottle they do a great job. 3 of the 4 bottles I intended it for, it didn't fit. We have an old Food Saver so we have lots of attachments. I wouldn't reorder these or buy the counter top "sealer". They counter top sealer stopped working after less than 3 months. This bottles sealer is very inconsistent in fit.

When used with a vacuum pump (hose and pump separate) can keep open bottles of wine good for an extended period of time. Sorry, will not work on bottles of Champaign.
