I always thought the idea of putting an inert gas into the head space made more sense, as subjecting the surface of the wine to any vacuum is going to pull some volatiles into the head space to be lost the next time you open it. I think you pull the nose out of the wine faster than it wants to come out, and its not coming out in the glass.
