10 Best Wine Preservers UK 2024 | OXO, Coravin and More

You may have noticed the steep increase in price when looking at our no. 1 choice, but if you're dealing with an expensive vintage you really can't do any better than Coravin wine preservers. This are a truly unique system that uses a combination of a needle and gas, which keeps your wine in a state similar to as if it hadn't been opened at all.

As well as the model three system, this set comes with extra gas capsules, screw tops, an aerator and a base. If you're a connoisseur of fine vintages, the extra cost is well worth the investment considering the results!

If you can get past the less-than-premium look and finish, this vacuum pump and stopper set from Vacu Vin represents great value for money. It's extremely easy to use, and is a surprisingly durable and reliable product.

We especially like the trademark 'click' that comes from the stoppers when pumping to tell you when the vacuum seal is in full effect. While it may not be the most attractive to look at, you can't argue with the results, especially for the price!

It may seem strange to spray something from a can can into an expensive bottle of wine and have it not alter the taste, but this preserving spray from Private Preserve works like magic! It preserves your bottle by creating a protective blanket to keep the oxygen from reacting with the wine, keeping it fresh.

For the best results you'll want to re-spray your bottle after each pour in order to preserve it for as long as possible. While the gas will eventually run out, you'll easily be able to get over 100 uses from a single can.

If you're looking for a gift set which includes a wine preserver, then look no further! This offering from Barvivo includes a pair of vacuum sealed stoppers and a pouring aerator to help you get the most flavour out of your wine.

Guaranteed to get plenty of use, both the aerator and stoppers will allow you to reach the right level of oxidation to enhance the natural flavour notes of the wines you are tasting. All included in elegant packaging at an affordable price point!

Most vacuum stoppers have a separate pump which you use to fit the stoppers, but this option from Sunwuun has the vacuum pump attached to the stopper itself. While all vacuum seals provide similar preservation properties, the added convenience sets these above much of the competition.

One of the most useful additions is the date dial, allowing you to note the day the wine has been opened so you can see at a glance how long it's been sitting there. They're also made from high quality food-grade silicone, and even come in a neat little gift box!

If you're in the market for something that's going to keep your bubbly, well, bubbly, then you may want to consider this option from Vacu Vin. Its unique locking design re-seals bottles once opened, and the handy lever allows for easy pouring without having to remove the stopper.

As this is designed for preserving sparkling wines, you probably won't get the best results if used with non-sparkling varieties due to the lack of a vacuum seal. But if you're a fan of the fizz, this is a must buy!

The first vacuum sealed pump and stopper we have on our list is from trusted brand OXO. It's easy to use, simply place a stopper over the bottle's opening, fit the pump, and then pump a few times. That said, we would have preferred some indication of when to stop.

While effective, we've found that it may be difficult to replace the stoppers if yours get damaged, lost, or you simply want to preserve more bottles of wine. 

While decanters aren't usually the most effective at preserving wines, this carafe from Savino offers some neat features that more than make up for the lack of any type of vacuum or gas seal. You simply pour the wine into the carafe and that's it! You don't need to do anything else because of its automated floating stopper.

The only thing stopping this from being a bit higher on our list is that it's quite pricy for what it offers. If you're looking for something stylish and easy for group gatherings, it's a great choice, but if you're looking for pure preserving power you can get more for your money.

While these stoppers are a little more expensive than the previous entry, these create a better seal as the silicone seal expands once fitted allowing the stopper to fit any bottle. The bottle can even be placed on its side in the fridge as the seal is so tight.

Although the seal is extremely snug and air tight, it doesn't create a vacuum, meaning that oxidation will still be occurring. Therefore, it's still only an option that's good for supermarket wines and the like.

If you're looking for something cheap and easy to pop into the top of an open bottle before putting in the fridge, this simple stopper is a good option that won't break the bank. While it's not as effective as some of the others on the list, it will add a few days onto a supermarket white.

Even for cheaper wines, it's important to have something closing the top while refrigerating as you don't want the wine's flavour to be changed by the various smells of the things in your fridge. After all, no one wants an oniony wine!
