I was in the market for a Vacuvin, but I ended up looking hard at both the Coravin and the Eto (both also mentioned in the article).

I went with the Eto for a few reasons. One was price (pays for itself after a few bottles of wine), but the main reason was that it's so much simpler with fewer moving parts and there are no cartridges to replace. And it works well. I recommend the stainless steel version. Happy customer.

I was an initial Kickstarter backer and it works very well. Just remember to clean it sooner than later or you have to break out the baking soda to get rid of the smell!

Why the stainless steel version?

I don't have any proof of this because that's the one I have, but I wondered if the brass versions would get discolored quickly because of interacting with the wine. Stainless is easy to clean.
