Has anyone mentioned those vacuum pumps that take the air out of open wine bottles? The wine gods will frown on you and bolt you with a dose of Thunderbird for it. More, it is sacrilegious, like drinking "pink" wine.<g>

Hi Tomato, They are better than nothing, however they are not up to keeping a fine wine tasting the same the following day ;<( Your best bet is either the little cans of nitrogen, or we use clear glass marbles...cleaned with hot water after each use...one just fills the bottle with the marbles until the ullage line is back up into the neck. With this technique, I have saved some very nice late 50's and early 60's Bordeaux's for over a week, with little change in taste...only trick is finding marbles small enough to fit into the bottle. Ours came from a small village near Bordeaux, where I learned the trick. Good drinking and Happy new Year Preston
