So much so that the speed with which wine goes bad once the bottle is opened caught me somewhat by surprise when I went to university.... Ours is a more compact but less convenient type; the pump is seperate rather than built in, and the stoppers are simple moulded rubber items that operate just the same as the plugs on an inflatable pool toy, and you squeeze them to release the pressure. And prior to that, we do have some archaic non-pumping jobs in the second drawer that still create an airtight seal, for shorter-term preservation, using some kind of lever arrangement that keeps the rubber part small for insertion/removal, then expands it for storage. $12 is very definitely worthwhile We’ve had one of these for years (google: Vacu-vin), and it is properly awesome.
