 Vacu
Vin Wine Saver Gift Pack
Wine should breathe a little, but not overnight. Putting an end
to the oxidation process is easy with the Vacu Vin Wine Saver. By
removing most of the oxygen from a bottle of wine, you slow the rate
at which the wine loses its flavor and tannins. Vacu Vin works best
on the biggest and youngest wines, tempering their acids and tannins
for great drinking the next day or even the day after. In these days
of moderation, saving a bottle until the next day is common and
saves you from having to open another bottle from your cellar. We
have found that wines less than five years old many times taste
better the next day after having been 'Vacu vin-ed'. It's a great
investment for wine lovers who want to enjoy the maximum amount of
pleasure from each bottle. Works great for olive and other oils as
well!

 Oster
Electric Wine Opener
I had the chance to use this the other day and what a surprise! At
the touch of a button, the Oster Wine Opener smoothly and easily
pulled the cork out of every bottle tried--even one that was
notorious for being a "tough" pull. This product immediately earned
a place as a WineSquire Approved product! An especially good gift
for grandparents, carpel tunnel sufferers, and any others who may
find pulling corks a growing challenge. Opens up to 30 bottles on a
single charge. The stylish and ergonomically designed soft-grip
handle will fit into the palm of your hand for a firm grip. Also
includes a foil cutter to remove wine seals and a recharging base
for convenience.
