Vacuvin sucks!

[Jerry D Mead]

Tom...Most of the wine media over here badmouth the gadget too, and Wall Street Journal even ran a scientific test on the thing a few years back, exposing it as a fraud...but it still sells like hotcakes...in the same way as those big winged cork extractors with the drill (auger) instead of a worm. Thing is, they look/sound like they should work, so people go for them. As you know, my magazine, The Wine Trader, sells a few books and gizmos...but we've proudly never sold that one, even though it could have been profitable, I'm sure.

Also, I guess I find VacuVin distasteful because it reminds me too much of those apparatus which appear in the back of trashy men's magazines (or so I'm told, having never actually looked at one).

Hey!, Tom, now there's a practical use for the thing...why didn't we think of that before.
