For how long can you use this Cilio Wine Sealer? Is this for wine only?

This specific one is for wine. I have the one for Champagne - opened a bottle 4 days ago, used the Champagne Sealer, poured a glass a night and it's still perfectly bubbly tonight. 5th night. Obviously small glasses. :)

In general you don't want wine to sit - red past 2 days, white past 4. Top top works ok. It's not a vacuum seal or anything, but its easier than reinserting a cork. I've only used it for wine bottles...fitted for that size bottle neck/opening.

The stopper has three sealing rings.... Approximately the following diameters, kinda hard to measure with calipers since they're soft plastic..950".900".850"On a functional basis, they can be shoved into and seal well on a 1 liter vodka bottle or a 1 liter olive bottle.They are a very hard fit into a wine bottle (at least the one I tried) not ideal.

Sorry but we have only used with wine bottles. It has worked well on a variety of bottle sizes.

I haven't had a bottle of wine with sediment. I believe the aerator only adds air, giving the pored wine an extra breath of flavor. If I did have a bottle of wine with sediment it would end up in the sink.

DO NOT USE THIS with a vacuum system....the vacuum system will suck the nitrogen, argon and other inert gasses that are in the Private Wine Preservation system out of the bottle, leaving it without any protection from oxidation. Also, from my 30+ years of experience with fine wine collecting, and from a good friend who was the Number One Wine Sommelier in all of France a few years ago, the vacuum systems suck out the oxygen bound molecules within the wine and causes it to loose much of its quality and flavor when next consumed.Enjoy this very practical and functional wine preservation system.....Cheers ! ! !

Not really made for wine. My hubby wants ice cold beer so one is colder for soda & beer 30-some deg. Wine coolers only 55 deg. However I do slide smaller bottles of wine on there side on bottom shelf.

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.

I just bought this sealer and I haven't used it yet. On the bottle is says that the expected wear is 3-5 years for interior surfaces and 1-3 years for exterior surfaces. Apply annually for best results (per bottle).

We use the 12 oz for wine. It keeps it at temperature for as long as it takes to drink it!

The Chitosan, which is used to stabilize the wine. I don't know if there is any thing else you can use in its place.

The Silicone stoppers are tappered in such a way to fit most bottles and seal them. I purchased these for my wife for standard wine bottles. She said they are easier to remove than when the cork of the wine bottle is placed back in to seal it. I hope this helps.

I have used it to store wine between rackings and it works fine. I have kept wine in these bottles for about 3 months without problem. If you want to age nicely, try a wooden barrel.

It doesn't "cool" or "chill" wine that isn't already cold. It keeps pre-chilled wine chilled/cold for an hour or two. No freezing or inserts required.

We have used the wine bottle sealer without any trouble. I don't know why you would be having trouble unless the outside diameter of the bottle type is too wide.

It is easy to rinse with water or you can put it in the dishwasher. The main problem is that residual wine will drip from the aerator into the holding cup, so you have to clean everything after each use.

It only lasts a few months. But if you follow up the initial sealing by using the cleaner with sealer, you can go 6 months or more without re-sealing.

I used it heavily for 6 or 8 months, and it's been stored for the next 6 or 8 months, so I can't say for very long term use. However, one of the reasons I chose it is that small parts can easily be replaced, rather than junking the whole thing as you'd have with a cheaper brand. I've also used others' sealers like FoodSaver and I can tell you this one is much better quality.
