What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus for evacuating and sealing a flexible container, the apparatus comprising: a base housing having a recess; a vacuum source disposed within said base housing, said recess having a vacuum intake port in communication with said vacuum source; a drip retainer removeably disposed in said base housing and being in communication with said vacuum source, said drip retainer including a nozzle engagable with an opening of the flexible container; a cover rotatably connected to said base and movable to a closed position to cover said nozzle; and a heating element mounted on one of said base and said cover for heat sealing the opening of the flexible container. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said drip retainer forms a substantially hollow chamber adapted to contain a liquid. 3. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein said drip retainer includes a selectively openable aperture for permitting said chamber to be emptied and cleaned. 4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said recess has a locking device for selectively securing said drip retainer in said recess. 5. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein said locking device includes a projection extending from a lower wall of said recess, said projection being selectively engagable with said drip retainer. 6. The apparatus as defined in claim 5, wherein said projection is deflectable and includes a catch, said catch being engagable with a top wall of said drip retainer. 7. The apparatus as defined in claim 5, wherein said drip retainer includes a channel extending there through, and said projection extends through said channel when said drip retainer is in said recess. 8. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said nozzle is disposable against an elastomeric material, said nozzle and said elastomeric forming a flexible container holding device, wherein a portion of the flexible container is securable between the nozzle and said elastomeric material. 9. The apparatus as defined in claim 1, wherein said drip retainer has a length and defines a chamber having a vacuum opening in communication with said vacuum source, said drip retainer nozzle including a passage into said chamber and said passage being offset from said vacuum opening along the length of the drip retainer. 10. An apparatus for evacuating and sealing a flexible container, the apparatus comprising: a base housing having a longitudinal extent for receiving there alone an end of the flexible container; a vacuum source; a drip retainer removeably disposed in said base housing, said drip retainer defining a chamber, said chamber having a vacuum opening disposed within, said vacuum opening being in communication with said vacuum source, said drip retainer including a nozzle having a passage into said chamber, said nozzle being engagable with an opening of the flexible container, said drip retainer having a longitudinal extent being aligned with said longitudinal extent of said base housing, and said passage being offset from said vacuum opening along the longitudinal extent of the drip retainer; a cover rotatably connected to said base and movable to a closed position to cover said nozzle; and a heating element mounted on one of said base and said cover for heat sealing the opening of the flexible container. 11. The apparatus as defined in claim 10, wherein said chamber is substantially hollow, thereby creating a space to hold a liquid. 12. The apparatus as defined in claim 10, wherein at least a portion of said nozzle extends from a top wall of said drip retainer. 13. The apparatus as defined in claim 10, further including a locking device selectively engagable with said drip retainer for securing said drip retainer in said base housing. 14. The apparatus as defined in claim 10, wherein said drip retainer is a generally elongate member. 15. The apparatus as defined in claim 10, wherein said base housing has a length and a width and said longitudinal extent of said drip retainer is aligned with said length of said base housing. 16. The apparatus as defined in claim 10, wherein said base includes a recess and said recess has a vacuum intake port in communication with said a vacuum source, said drip retainer being removable disposed in said recess. 17. An apparatus for evacuating and sealing a flexible container, the apparatus comprising: a vacuum source; a base housing including a recess therein, said recess having a vacuum intake port in communication with said vacuum source; a drip retainer removeably disposed in said recess, said drip retainer defining a chamber, said chamber having a vacuum opening disposed within, said vacuum opening being in communication with said vacuum source, said drip retainer including a nozzle having a passage into said chamber, said nozzle being engagable with an opening of the flexible container, said drip retainer having a longitudinal extent, and said passage being offset from said vacuum opening along the longitudinal extent of the drip retainer; a cover rotatably connected to said base and movable to a closed position to cover said nozzle; and a heating element mounted on one of said base and said cover for heat sealing the opening of the flexible container.
