Wine's enemy is oxygen. Most preservation tools either pump the air out or replace it with gas — and most only buy you a day or two. Repour does something different: a specialized material inside the stopper actively absorbs and binds only the oxygen keeping an open bottle tasting fresh for days, weeks, even months. Here's what reviewers, sommeliers, and the trade have to say.
1. WIRED — 8/10
Christopher Null · June 27, 2019
“The Repour worked as advertised, which is to say perfectly.”
Wine preservation options range from a $12 vacuum pump to the $1,000 Coravin. Repour takes a new tack: instead of removing or replacing oxygen, it destroys it. Peel the tab, push the stopper in, and a chemical packet binds the oxygen out of the air — and out of the wine itself.
Tested across a wide range of wines, some nearly full and some nearly empty, left at room temperature for up to two weeks: none showed a hint of oxidation. (Tip: reds can taste tight straight out of the stopper, so reopen about 15 minutes before pouring.)
Wired: Works flawlessly. Incredibly simple, unlike the Coravin.
Tired: Less environmentally friendly; no clear signal when a stopper is spent.
2. Brennan’s of Houston
Marcus Gausepohl, Wine Director · Houstonia, Dec 2020
“If you’re not going to drink through the bottle, it’s kind of a no-brainer.”
The wine director at Houston’s iconic Brennan’s prefers Repour over the better-known Coravin. A starter Coravin runs about $200 before accessories; Repour is under $2 a stopper, and nothing gets added to the wine. “It’s a much simpler process, and available from Amazon,” he says. Peel, cap, push down — the stopper pulls the oxygen out and locks it in the cap. Each one handles a single bottle and is fully recyclable.
3. Grapevine Cottage (Zionsville & Fishers, IN)
Doug Pendleton, Owner · Jan 2020
“These stoppers work better than any other wine preservation method I have ever used.”
Skeptical, we ran our own test. We drank half a bottle of Syrah/Grenache, corked it with a Repour, dated it 11/12/19, and forgot about it. 46 days later we opened a fresh bottle of the same wine and tasted them side by side.
Damn, this thing worked. Same garnet color, no orange oxidation halo, the same black cherry and blackberry flavors — the older bottle just slightly more subtle. We even tried it blind, switching the glasses around, and could barely tell them apart.
Pumps alter the aromas and don’t last. Gas is better, but two weeks earlier I’d gassed a great Montepulciano and come back to find it “dead as a doornail.” Repour is the first thing that’s truly held up.
4. Troon — Preferred F&B Partner
John Bartilomo, VP Food & Beverage · May 2024
“Repour outperformed the others across all categories.”
After extensive review, Troon has added Repour to its portfolio of Preferred F&B Partners. In a beta test across three Troon clubs, Repour beat every alternative — and we now recommend it for all by-the-glass programs.
Why it works for clubs:
- Eliminates oxidation, so guests get the quality they expect
- Cuts wine loss and saves money
- Fast and simple for staff, with minimal operational impact
- One stopper keeps a full 750ml bottle fresh until it’s empty
