FoodSaver T03-0024-01 Bottle Stoppers, 3-Pack

Keep half-finished bottles of wine and open bottles of oil and vinegar from spoiling before they can be finished. This set of three bottle stoppers is for use with any FoodSaver vacuum packaging machine that has an accessory port and keeps opened bottles fresh three to five times longer than other storage methods. The corks plug into the bottles while tubing (sold separately) inserts through their tops and removes air from the bottles with the help of a FoodSaver machine (also sold separately). Freshness is sealed in and flavor is preserved until it is convenient to reopen the bottle again. This is an economical investment as it ensures that all purchased bottled food gets eaten and that there are hardly any throw-aways due to spoilage. These bottle stoppers are reusable and easy to clean and fit most standard bottle sizes. --Cristina Vaamonde
