storing wine?

[Bucko]

Nope, Foodie is dead on (I hate it when I can't argue with him }:> ). Vacuvins are worthless -- I've proved it to myself anyway by taste testing bottles. The best thing to do is drink all of the wine, but that is not always practical. Therefore, oxygen elimination is the key. Pouring into 375 ml bottles is one option. Private Preserve (my prefered method) replaces the oxygen with inert nitrogen. I have kept bottles in the refrigerator with a nitrogen blanket for up to a week without too much degradation of the wine. Champagne stars, a special corking device, holds bubbles for a couple of days, but they got flat pretty quick.
