Vacuvin sucks!

[amshih]

Vacu-vin is one of those things that SOUND like it should work but completely sucks. I can't believe that they say it preserves wine for a week -- in days, it turns to complete vinegar!

Since I live alone, I *always* have leftover wine (no wise cracks folks!). So far, the most effective method for me is getting 4-packs of Sutter Home splits (they have screw caps), dumping out the wine, and refilling the bottles to the top with my leftovers. It makes cute single servings, and the tiny bottle plus the screw cap help keep the air out.

Added bonus: no one will ask to share with you, even if the bottles are filled with leftover Insignia.
