 I couldn't make it work. Mar 05, 2007
By R. Jenkins
While one of the other reviewers states that it only works on some types of champagne bottles, I couldn't get it to work at all. I tried it on two different shapes of bottles, but to no avail. The problem is that the ring that is supposed to slide down the neck to secure the stopper doesn't slide when it's on the bottle. When off the bottle, the mechanism works fine. It appears to me that the stopper must be made for a specific bottle and not for most champagne bottles in general. At least that was my experience. I found a good $3.00 stopper at Sur la Table that works just fine and is not dependent on the shape of the champagne bottle. It doesn't have the fancy pour spout, but at least it keeps the bubbles in the champagne.

 Fits all bottles I've tried, works well Feb 07, 2009
By Fisherman
I'm puzzled that some people find the item doesn't fit some bottles of champagne. I've used it on at least 15 different brands of champagne and a few brands of American and Italian bubbly, and it has worked on all of them. You have to pull up the lower ring, push the pourer firmly down on the bottle, and then slide the ring down, which will snap into position. The bubble keeps for several days. I recommend it highly.

It Works Well on Most Bottles ! Feb 15, 2007
By Juanita W. Minor
When fitted tightly and sealed, this saver works very well indeed. It does not work on all bottle necks, however, such as the longer, more narrow bottle necks. Still, I'm satisfied enough to buy it again because it works so well on most of the champagnes that we buy.

The only Pourer that Really Works Aug 24, 2009
By Tamara K. Wenzel
"Tamara"
We open at least a bottle of champagne a week, maybe more often. I've owned all kinds of stoppers, but this is the only one I truly adore. Indeed, there is NO champagne stopper that will fit ALL necks, unfortunately. You have to own many brands, from skinny necked to thick necked. This pourer, however, fits "most" necks, meaning it is somewhat standard. Do exercise patience when fitting the ring down and closing the pourer tight; you want it to completely seal.
We NEVER finish a bottle of champagne in one sitting; and since our bottles often cost $50 or more, the bubbles must be just as fine as the first pour, four days previously. Sometimes I open a bottle just for myself, and enjoy just a few ounces every day. Each pour must be divine as the last.
We have owned this model for at least a decade, and pick up an extra one whenever we are placing an order on a site that sells it. We affectionately dub it the Darth Vader Helmet, and have one in the glove compartment of each car.
There is only one disadvantage to this model; it creates a helmet that is TALLER than any of the others. To keep it in the refrigerator door, you have to rearrange other things so that the bottle leans slightly. It is well worth the inconvenience, however.

Excellent Product Jul 22, 2008
By D. Johnston
For keeping champagne fresh and sparkling and chilled, this stopper is just the ticket. I've had an open bottle laying on its side in the refrigerator for over a month now and it still as fresh as the day I opened it.
