Will Vacuum-Sealed Wine Stopper"Fail" in the Fridge Crisper?-Tested and Reviewed

Lately, We’ve been stuck on a question: When you seal an opened wine bottle with a stopper and put it in the fridge, can it actually keep the wine fresh? So this time, I’m doing a "long-term observation experiment"—no fancy reasons, just to see if a vacuum-sealed wine cork will "drop the ball" on its sealing performance after 1 to 2 months in the fridge crisper.

First, let’s talk about the experiment’s "stars" and preparation—no complicated tools, just everyday items: a wine bottle, its matching wine cork, and a handheld vacuum sealer. The steps are simple too:

1. Place the wine bottle steadily on the table, take off the cork’s top cap, and fit the wine stopper itself snugly into the bottle’s mouth.

2. Attach the handheld vacuum sealer to the top of the cork, press the switch to suck out the air, and once the machine signals the air is fully removed, quickly put the cork’s top cap back on.

3. Finally, put the entire bottle (with the plug) into the fridge crisper (not the freezer—just the usual temperature for storing fruits and veggies).

Next comes the most patience-testing waiting period. Over the next 1 to 2 months, we’ll focus on these key checkpoints:

Will the cork warp or swell due to changes in humidity and temperature inside the fridge?

Will the vacuum-sealed state slowly leak air—like the cork’s top cap bulging, or a noticeable "whoosh" of air when opening it?

Even when pouring the wine, can we tell if its color or aroma is different from when it was first sealed? After all, the true test of sealing performance lies in how fresh the wine stays.

Right now, the bottle is safely tucked away in the fridge. In the days ahead, I’ll sneak in to "check on it" regularly, jotting down every tiny change in the wine bottle stopper. In 1 month, then 2 months—will this vacuum-sealed cork hold the line on freshness? Could there be unexpected issues? Let’s wait together. When the time comes, we’ll "unbox this sealed mystery" and see what answer this wine cork sealing test finally delivers!
