vacu vin question

[mrdutton]

Sure, if there were an appropriate connection on the container holding the veggies. Why not? The pump does, indeed draw a vacuum.

The pumping action is not so physical and violent that it causes the bottle to move or the contents to shake. I can draw a vacuum on a bottle without significantly moving the bottle. The pumping action is up and down along the vertical axis of the bottle.

Although I've not included a gauge to measure the vacuum produced, I really don't think that enough of a vacuum is produced to allow any significant amount of dissolved oxygen to come out of solution. So I don't really think that the vacu-vin's pumping action causes any turbulence in the wine.

You'd have to have a pretty darn strong vacuum pump to cause turbulence in the wine thru the action of releasing dissolved oxygen/gases.

I think the thing just draws a few inches of water vacuum which is just enough to cause the seal to swell and prevent the introduction of any additional oxygen down through the neck of the bottle. It certainly does not completely evacuate all gases from the bottle.

Having spent 26.5 years in the military, you can trust me when it comes to knowledge of a vacuum and its affect on gases; I have a lot of experience!!!
