I disagreed with this - although it may be a matter of expectations. We use our vacuvin to keep partials for a day or two, and they keep much better with it than with a cork. I’m not trying to keep wine for a week, and I prefer to keep reds out on the counter - fridge cold red tastes horrible to me, and who wants to wait for it to warm up?

That said, reading about the eto has sent me down a rabbit hole on Amazon. I’m seriously considering ordering a wine squirrel now!
