Air Cork Wine Preserver

Product Description

Air Cork seals the wine from the outside air, preserving those initial flavors and aromas. Now shipping with new formulated, heat sensitive, medical grade latex balloons. These balloons relax within the bottle and will come out larger than when they went in. A rinse in hot water will "shrink" the balloon back to near original size. Now ready for its next use or to be stored in its storage bag. Do you ever want just one glass of wine, but worry that the rest will be wasted unless you finish the entire bottle? Rest easy; Air Cork protects your wine from oxidation while allowing you to enjoy your wine tonight and tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Air Cork is intuitive, simple and easy to use. It provides an airtight seal no matter how much wine is left in the bottle. To use, lower the balloon end into the bottle until it reaches the top surface of the wine. As you pump, the balloon floats and seals itself to the side of the bottle to provide an air tight seal from the inside of the bottle. When you're ready to enjoy another glass, simply squeeze the valve until the balloon completely deflates. Keep valve button depressed and lift it out of the bottle, rinse in hot water. The balloon is manufactured in the USA and is constructed of natural rubber latex, a bio based elastomer material. All ingredients in the balloon meet US FDA standards for food contact. In no way will it affect or alter the taste of your wine. The Air Cork is designed for standard wine bottles only; 750-ml bottles or smaller. Enjoying your wine within 3 days of opening is recommended. See How-To Videos on the Air Cork YouTube Channel.

I had a bad experience with this
by Amazon Customer (1 out of 5 stars)
May 9, 2017

I really wanted to love this thing, but I wound up having a really bad experience with this product. I was looking forward to getting it because I am the only wine drinker in my house and I like to have a glass on most nights. I tend to buy moderately expensive wines, so I want to be sure that it is preserved between drinks. I tried it out on the night that it arrived. I drank one glass of an 11 year old wine and used this device to keep the wine for the next day. I inflated it and was able to lay the bottle on its side without any fluid escaping. I stored in a cool place overnight in an upright position. The next evening I found that the balloon was deflated and my wine was exposed to the air for a period of time. I was concerned about this devices ability to protect my wine, so I inflated the balloon while outside of the bottle to see if would deflate on its own. After about 2 hours, the balloon popped. I never got one good use out of this product and am out almost $30. I have been a regular Amazon customer for a very long time. This was my worst experience. AVOID

Long Term Test Review ....over 1 year. Great idea but balloons are no good!
by Amazon Customer (2 out of 5 stars)
January 1, 2018

First impressions of the product were great. Keeps the wine tasting good for 3-4 days as long as the balloon is inflated. Have to check daily to make sure it doesn't deflate because then the wine goes bad. The seller reached out to me when I purchased the product and this gave me assurance that the purchase was a good one, but then things turned sour......the balloons that come with the system don't last long as promised. Information on Amazon say balloons last 80+ uses but that is totally false. After 3 or 4 uses, the balloons fail. Another one came with a hole and the 3rd one was no good after the second use. I ordered replacement balloons (3 balloons cost $8.50) and seller assured me this were an improved version and would last long. Sadly same thing. First ballon popped inside the wine bottle first use. Second ballon had a hole, so no good. I almost feel like I shouldn't use the last one because it will make me reorder again. Contacted seller requesting him to send me a replacement free of charge just for the one that arrived with a hole and haven't heard back. Its been over 3 month I reached out with my request and still waiting. Honestly I can't recommend this product just because of the quality of balloons.

Functions Very Well at Keeping Wine Preserved.
by Craigclu (5 out of 5 stars)
October 27, 2015

I bought this following America's Test Kitchen review of it. I've only used it on 3 bottles so far but it has been performing perfectly. It's an unlikely looking affair but it functions very well. The balloon doesn't deflate completely or easily, making it a bit tedious to remove from the bottle. It seems as if the balloon could be a bit more robust and still function as needed. This would likely allow it to deflate itself more completely. As far as keeping the wine preserved, it works better than any of the other systems I own. Even some better grade wines are being bottled with screw tops these days and the vacuum systems don't fit as snugly as they do in a cork bottle. This device solves that issue, too.

I would recommend it but I'll also be watching for version 2.0!

Takes some getting used to, but very effective
by HeadintheClouds (4 out of 5 stars)
February 14, 2017

Just got this, was pretty impressed by the whole idea. However, the balloon has deflated very quickly by itself several times in the last few days. It's too bad, I would not trust this to seal a bottle of wine laying sideways in my wine refrigerator (unlike some other wine vacuum kits I've owned). I can understand a slow deflating, but this was overnight. I'll give it a couple more days, but if it can't keep the pressure, I'm sending it back.

Update - I switched the balloon to one of the others in the package and that seems to have fixed the problem. I was pleasantly surprised to get an email from the company offering a full replacement based on this initial review. Not needed in my case, but impressive customer service!

Not worth it! Deflated
by Spice Cake (1 out of 5 stars)
April 12, 2018

Super stoked about this. I buy expensive bottle of wine and only have a small glass in the evenings. I thought this would rock, but it deflated overnight, twice. It allowing work unless you drink a certain amount. For the price, you think it would be awsome. I love to support shark tank, but this is a bust

This product does not work long term. It's good if you're leaving the wine for an hour but overnight or for 2+ days, it not efficient.

So far we've been happy with this product. We are using as instructed, not putting too much pressure on the balloon when inflating it in the bottle. Does what it says it will do.

wish I hadn't seen shark tank where they said the cost to make was like $3. I would love to buy a do
by James Nash (5 out of 5 stars)

Bought this and initially had a problem but it was quickly resolved. So far I have gone through all three balloons(in two months). It's a great idea, I just don't think this is going to last. The real problem I have is that they are expensive....wish I hadn't seen shark tank where they said the cost to make was like $3, but now I understand why.

I would love to buy a dozen for Christmas presents but just too much$$$

Wish I had invented it.
by Tara (5 out of 5 stars)

Great gift for the wife.

I'm not a wine person so for her to get through a bottle of wine solo before it goes bad requires dedication. She has had bottles last more than four days with no negative effect on the taste using this product.

Easy to use and clean. Replacement balloons are cheap and easy to get on Amazon.

Very happy.
