Apparently this is not an air tight seal, if not, why not just put the cork back on?

Good Question. Most of the corks that come out of my Belgian beer bottles flare out at the bottom which makes putting them back in very difficult. I could shave them down, but that is a messy hassle. I've been able to find bottle stoppers at my local liquor stores (and some at the dollar store!) that seal and work great. These have a lever on top that you push down to seal. Search Amazon for "bottle stopper" and look for the ones with levers on top. Best of luck!

I just enjoy the ease and speed of the cork seal....taking on and off. Using the cork is more cumbersome----for me. I really love this product!

Press the top button down as you apply the wine sealer.I found this assures a tight seal.This is for wine, the company also makes one for champagne.

For me, this wine sealer does the job. It may not be air tight, but it keeps the bottle from leaking when laying on it's side. Very happy with this purchase.

There is a metal loop that secures the cork. You can see it in the picture a bit; it's what the ribbon is tied to. That secures it very well and it can sometimes be difficult to release the cork.

Cork is very secure. I have put water in them. It does slowly evaporate after several months, but no leakage. You could always seal around it with some type of glue/adhesive.

No, I don't think it is airtight. There is no sealing material between the lid and box. Nor is there any on the "hinge-y" part of the lid.

No, it is good. It has a clamp that helps it stay on. No issues with the cork.

Its not an air tight seal. Im not sure if there is any type of box that is like that. If you are that concerned about humidity, double sleave your cards and you should be fine.

No, it is absolutely not "airtight" and should not be used for external usage.

It's supposed to help remove any air in the bottle and create an air-tight seal to help keep opened wine fresh. It doesn't work well though. Initially it worked great but over time the tops would lose suction overnight and I'd be stuck with a flat bottle of wine. I'd look elsewhere.

I use the original cork if it is tight and not chewed up by the corkscrew. If you have to force it into place, that's even better. Full disclosure: I don't know what to recommend for long-term storage (more than two or three weeks) or if the original cork is not usable.

It's a possibility, it's not an air tight seal around the top parts, water could seep in pretty easily if it's enough water, I think.

I use a Vacu Vin Wine Saver (ASIN: B00005AS51). Bottles that have been stoppered with these rubber corks most certainly do fit inside this refrigerator. Moreover, when the air is pumped out using the standard hand-pump, the corks remain very tightly sealed inside, preventing any dripping even after a few days. Hope this helps.

The cork top is not affixed to the actual bottle, so if you aren't careful it can get lost during use.

Ive never had that problem. Im sorry. Maybe it is something to do with your environment? Or maybe yours isnt sealing correctly

It takes a good deal of pressure to fully open, you have to continue with the same amount of pressure to keep it open, and it closes immediately upon release. I think this might not be the right bottle for you.

No. There's no airtight seal. Unless you bolt it down the raccoons will pick it up and take it with them...or tear it up trying to get it open.

HI Santoyo ! The person who responded first, already said basically what I was about to recommend ! Even suggesting the video ! No point in repeating !! The only thing I can imagine that might lead you to damage the bottle and not just the cork, as the cork issue happens to me, is that the cork is of a very hard type and is very stuck in there, as it HAS happened to me, but not to the point of damage !! ........... CHERERS my friend and mull this over a nice Cab !!

I don't see why not? Though, if you are storing it for a long while you might want to think about something that is completely air tight. I use these for wine and they keep the bottle fresh for a few days at most.
