That’s amazon’s fault how?

When your mom isn't paying for all your shit, you try to get the best price. Amazon used to be the place to get the best price, now they aren't.

Works really well, from what I can tell so far. I've poured a good sized glass from 2 bottles and the cork seals right up when you remove it. It uses argon gas to offset the wine you pour, so it is supposed to be able to keep the wine nearly forever without it spoiling, so you don't have to finish a whole bottle of one type if you want to sample.



The only disappointment is that is it nearly all plastic construction, at lease what you touch. There is another model with a rubberized grip but it's like $100 more.. for $350 retail I would have hoped this thing was all metal. Oh well, performance is most important in this case.

Awesome. I should have paid attention to the daily deals for one of these. I've heard they are great, so I'm glad it works. I was at a bar in Philly that had one of these with a DIY hose/argon tank so you can avoid the cartridges. Not sure how long the cartridges last for home use, but it could be an option in the future if they are too pricey. It is disappointing that they're plastic, hopefully they last.

Update on this. 5 days later I poured another glass from one of the bottles and the wine tastes perfect.

Seems like a legit gadget.

I saw that jalop article and honestly didnt even finish reading it, because we wont see that shit again. Thanks for sharing the vid, I just watched it and for what would be $80k US the sprinter vans have full on shitters and showers with cabin ac. So its a highly overpriced boutique thing that leaves me scratching my head. As your articles points out, a loaded one of those would be north of $100k.

Thanks for getting me to watch it. and

Which brings me to my point, clearly retarded people gonna people and thats why these things are $25-35k when swapped and cleaned up.

100k is ridiculous for that I agree.

I watch a lot of videos on people building out those sprinters. That's a retirement dream for me and the wife. We would problem buy one and tweak it though instead of a complete build. We want to do it in Europe. Have a permanent base in her home town of Bad Sackingen, Germany and just travel 90% of the year

LOOK HOW MUCH AMAZING SHIT YOU GET. I feel like the vw van is the barbie power wheels jeep equivilent to wanting an offroad vehicle.

4x4.

KITCHEN.

SHITTER

SHOWER.

DOPE ASS INTERIOR.



It just leaves me wondering are you paying for in the vw van other than built in camping tables, chairs, and aluminum flooring....

my uncle half way listened to me AFTER buying his $160k bang bus Winnebago RV on a ferd f350 chassis stretch. WAS MASSIVE and wide but got ~13mpg. He was also BUT LOOK HOW MUCH RV I CAN BUY OVER THE SPRINTER.

So what does he do? Drive it 2 times to CO and 1 time to DC and 1 time to FL. Thats it. Gets rid of it. Buys the sprinter... After saying i was right.

Only the sprinter is the $120k FAT boy body with 1 pop out side. ITS STILL FUCKIN YUGE, for what it is. He totally missed my point about less being more.


its real porky for that van frame.
