Title: Vacuum seal...not
Product review: I picked up this set at a local department store. Tried it on a bottle of Italian wine I drink nearly 50% of the time. Initially it does pump the air out, which can be verified by pulling on the tab with a resulting hiss. However, in subsequent testing the seal wouldn't stay airtight for even 1 hour.The stoppers feel rather soft/flimsy and do not allow for variance in bottle sizes (which according to other reviews are pretty common). And no, I'm not talking about 1.5l vs. 750ml bottles- just the difference in neck/lip diameter.So perhaps they work ok for a specific bottle size, but YMMV. To me, they're uselessI imagine "tapered" stopper designs (or those that go over the top) would work better for different bottle sizes- going to give it a try.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
