Includes one pump and stopper.
Amazon.com Review
Sturdy, handsome, and many times worth its weight in Burgundy, this wine-saver set preserves opened bottles of wine for up to two weeks. (It won't work with sparkling wines or soft drinks, however.) A simple and ingenious pump fits onto one of the two bottle stoppers that come with the set and pumps the air from a bottle through the stopper, which then seals the resulting vacuum. For precision, the pump clicks when the correct vacuum level has been attained. With no oxygen inside the bottle to turn wine vinegary it stays fresh until the stopper is removed. The matte-black pump and gray stoppers fit onto a stable, shiny black storage base and look elegant as a top hat on the bar. The pump is 6 inches high and the base is 4-1/2 inches wide. --Fred Brack

 A good product made better September 18, 2002

I've been using Vacu Vin's previous model for years and have been happy with it. The one downside of the earlier offering was that wine lovers never knew when a vacuum was achieved. I used to overpump just to make sure the wine-damaging oxygen was out of the bottle.I got this model in Napa a few months ago and I'm glad I did. While it doesn't deliver on its Concerto promise, it does give you reassuring clicks when a vacuum has been reached, enabling you to stop pumping sooner. It's a nice refinement. The only downside over the previous model is that it won't work with the marinating device sold separately because the bottom is configured differently from the earlier model.
I love this thing May 2, 2002

The wine saver is great in so many ways. Obviously it's wonderful to be able to open a bottle of wine and have it stay good for a day or two, especially if you just like one glass with dinner. This lets you open up and enjoy more expensive wine since you won't waste the whole rest of the bottle. If you are interested in learning about wines, you'll probably want to open up 2 or more wines at a time to compare them, and this way you won't waste anything. The wine saver will keep the undrunk portion until the next time. I do recommend putting the bottle in the fridge if you don't drink it the next day. Just pull the bottle out an hour before you want to drink it if it's red.
Easier to Use than Standard Vacu Vin January 5, 2003

I have used both this product and the standard (cheaper) Vacu-Vin...pay the premium and buy this product, as it is SUBTANTIALLY easier to use.In addition to being more stylish than the standard Vacu Vin, the stoppers on this product are easier to use and the pumping mechanism "clicks" when you have pumped enough air out of the wine bottle...the standard model just leaves you guessing about how much air has been removed.
It really works August 14, 2002

I was very skeptical when I bought this item, so imagine my amazement when I discovered that it actually works! Prior to buying VacuVin, my red wine bottles would last a maximum of 1-2 days if immediately re-corked, and white wine a few days longer if refrigerated. Now, my red wine is good for up to a week, and the white wine lasts even longer. The device is very simple - it pumps air through a plastic cork to re-create the original pressure prior to opening. Simple to use, and the corks are easy to rinse. Perfect for single people like me who don't want to drink a full bottle in one sitting, or who may switch from red one night to white the next.

I'm never dissapointed with the great gadgets this company comes out with. My brother picked up the new Concerto for me and it is absolutely awesome! My wife likes whites and I like reds, so the 2 stoppers really come in handy. Also, I love the new clicking sound it makes when the vacuum is at the correct level. Neat design, great looking gift, the absolute best invention for saving wines.
