Repour Wine Saver - Wine Preserver and Stopper, Removes Harmful Oxygen from Your Wine, Simply and Effectively

Effective

An open bottle of Wine doesn't keep for long. This product purports to absorb oxygen in the bottle, thereby slowing the souring process. I bought these for my daughter, who lives in another city, so I haven't tasted the results myself. Priced at about $2.50 per non-reusable cap, this product isn't for Three-Buck Chuck wines. But for costlier labels, it may well be worth the price.I've thought, if there were a way to inject nitrogen or some inert gas to displace the oxygen that an open bottle gets immediately when you pour, the souring could be avoided. I don't know of a product or method to do that. But these single-use caps (one cap per bottle, I assume) offer the oxygen to be absorbed into iron oxide - rust- thereby accomplishing th4e same.

Having now tested the Repour on a dozen bottles over a few months, I can say that it has enabled me to finally start enjoying my cellar. Previously I was unwilling to open a bottle by myself but with Repour I started to explore and taste my wines again. I even started to write about them online.Repour works very well up to two weeks in the fridge (37’F) with half a standard bottle remaining. Over a few nights, I did not detect any change in the character of the wine. Over two weeks, the wine loses a little complexity. Repour won’t work for a month because of oxygen that gets inside the wine liquid when it is initially poured.I love the simplicity of use. With Coravin, you need to plan ahead and the application is always a hassle. With Repour, you just put the cork on whenever you’re done tasting for the day.My fridge just about fits a tall Riesling bottle with the Repour on. One way I can tell it works is the vacuum (pressure reduction) it creates inside the bottle when left on. The seals works very well for all sorts of bottles. Conversely, it won’t stay on a bottle of sparkling.At $1.5 per bottle, this is a no-brainer. The Repour marks the end of the Coravin monopoly.

I should have read the details. I saw it was disposable but did not realise it was only good for 1 bottle. Too expensive for me I am going to return the box. Pity the details do not say SINGLE USE ONLY. Many things are disposable but have a multi use.

These are ok but only a one time use. Not worth it for me. Besides the fact that a bottle doesn’t last that long. 🤭
