Apparently there’s some people who have leftover wine. Who knew? Just kidding! Whether you want to save the rest of your bottle for later, or you’re savouring every drop of a particularly good vintage, these unique wine stopper ideas will keep the wine safe.
Corks are difficult to get back into the bottle after you open wine. Wine stoppers fix that problem and can usually keep your wine fresh for longer than if you tried to re-cork it by hand.
