vacu vin question

[Thomas]

that's not it Drew; you are into the mass hysteria thing; in this case, youse is all hysterical about the thing working...

What we need is a scientific explanation of how and why the vacu-vin works. Does it really take out the oxygen without agitating some of that oxygen into solution (which is what I believe happens during the pumping, which of course, if true, would defeat its purpose). Also, the pumping seems a violent way to treat wine and likely shakes up the stuff too much, which would be how the oxygen is getting into solution, if it is.

If the vacu-vin is so good would you use it to create a vacuum when putting up vegetables?
