Status vacuum plugs 3-piece set

Do you like to drink a glass of top-quality wine with lunch and are looking for the best way to store an opened bottle so you can enjoy its full flavor and aroma for longer? With vacuum sealing, you will completely preserve the flavor and aroma of the wine.

How and why does wine oxidize?

The wine is protected from oxidation in the barrel with sulfur dioxide and oil. After bottling, it is minimally exposed to oxygen and depending on the type, production and other factors, it has different shelf life. Some wines progress to even better quality by aging in the bottle, while others oxidize and spoil. After opening the bottle, the shelf life of all wines is significantly shortened because they have been exposed to oxygen to such an extent that oxygen negatively affects their taste, aroma and color. This happens because of a reaction that changes alcohol to acetaldehyde. In the case of white wines, this is shown by a change in color to brownish (locally we say that it has a high color) and a smell of dry fruit, and in red wines by a loss of lively and bright color.

Vacuum-sealed wine maintains its quality for several days, so you can pour your guests a glass of wine from an already opened bottle without worry.

Wine connoisseurs recommend vacuum sealing open bottles

In order to maintain the original taste and aroma of the wine, you must limit the access to oxygen as much as possible after opening the bottle. Sommeliers recommend using vacuum caps and a dedicated vacuum pump, with which you pump oxygen out of the bottle and create a vacuum. The procedure is the same as when storing food in vacuum containers and bags.

Vacuum wine stoppers prevent wine oxidation in a simple way

Using corks to store wine is quite simple. You need a vacuum cap for the bottle and a vacuum pump. Status offers a set of vacuum caps in three colors, which you can vacuum with a manual or electric vacuum pump. Insert the stopper into the opening of the bottle and suck in air (and oxygen at the same time) until you feel a slight resistance. The wine is now protected from oxidation, so it will maintain all its quality.

Advantages of vacuum sealing an open bottle of wine

Vacuum-sealed wine storage allows you to enjoy a quality bottle at your own pace, as you don't have to empty it in three days. Treat yourself to a glass of sparkling wine every day with lunch or dinner without compromising on its quality. Vacuum-sealed wine will maintain its noble quality for more than a week, depending on the variety.

Use vacuum seals to store all liquids where you want to maintain their original taste and aroma.

Status vacuum bottle caps are also suitable for vacuum storage:

• vinegar,
• oils and
• juice.

We do not recommend vacuum packaging carbonated drinks and sparkling wines.

Vacuum corks for wine: cleaning

Special maintenance of wine vacuum stoppers is not required because, when used properly, they are not in contact with the stored liquid and are made of silicone and do not absorb the aroma and color of the stored liquid. If the stopper becomes dirty, wash it with a regular dishwashing detergent or in the dishwasher. Do not use rough sponges or strong cleaning agents to avoid damaging the seals.

Vacuum corks for wine: materials

Status vacuum stoppers are made of ABS plastic and silicone. Both materials are food-safe and completely safe for contact with food and liquids.

Made in Slovenia

Vacuum caps are developed and manufactured in Slovenia. Their quality is also guaranteed with a 3-year warranty.
