Container for delaying spoilage of a consumable product by means of a low pressure environment, the container comprising - an internal compartment for storing the product inside; - a vacuum pump comprising an inlet, wherein the pump is arranged for lowering a pressure (Px) at the inlet below an ambient pressure of an external surroundings of the container; - a connection port accessible from outside the container for connecting an external compartment of an external container; - a valve system comprising ∘ a first valve in a duct between the inlet of the vacuum pump and the internal compartment, and ∘ a second valve in a duct between the inlet of the vacuum pump and the connection port; characterised in that it further comprises - a controller arranged to control the vacuum pump and valve system, wherein the controller is programmed to selectively operate in one of a plurality of different modes (M1,M2,M3), the modes comprising ∘ an internal vacuum mode for lowering a pressure inside the internal compartment until a target internal storage pressure (P 1) is reached; and ∘ an external vacuum mode for lowering a pressure inside the external compartment until a target external storage pressure is reached; wherein the target external storage pressure is further below the ambient pressure than the target internal storage pressure. - an internal compartment for storing the product inside; - a vacuum pump comprising an inlet, wherein the pump is arranged for lowering a pressure (Px) at the inlet below an ambient pressure of an external surroundings of the container; - a connection port accessible from outside the container for connecting an external compartment of an external container; - a valve system comprising ∘ a first valve in a duct between the inlet of the vacuum pump and the internal compartment, and ∘ a second valve in a duct between the inlet of the vacuum pump and the connection port; characterised in that it further comprises ∘ a first valve in a duct between the inlet of the vacuum pump and the internal compartment, and ∘ a second valve in a duct between the inlet of the vacuum pump and the connection port; characterised in that it further comprises - a controller arranged to control the vacuum pump and valve system, wherein the controller is programmed to selectively operate in one of a plurality of different modes (M1,M2,M3), the modes comprising ∘ an internal vacuum mode for lowering a pressure inside the internal compartment until a target internal storage pressure (P 1) is reached; and ∘ an external vacuum mode for lowering a pressure inside the external compartment until a target external storage pressure is reached; wherein the target external storage pressure is further below the ambient pressure than the target internal storage pressure. ∘ an internal vacuum mode for lowering a pressure inside the internal compartment until a target internal storage pressure (P 1) is reached; and ∘ an external vacuum mode for lowering a pressure inside the external compartment until a target external storage pressure is reached; wherein the target external storage pressure is further below the ambient pressure than the target internal storage pressure.
