Bottle stopper

Bottle stopper

— devices intended for use as stoppers for opened bottles — primarily wine.

If the bottle is not drunk immediately, it must be closed so that the drink does not oxidize and “exhale” (and also to avoid spills). However, “native”, factory-made corks after opening are often unsuitable for reuse — for example, wine corks made of natural material swell noticeably after being removed. Thus, specialized bar corks are produced — usually metal, with elastic inserts made of rubber or silicone. Such a device, usually, is designed for a standard bottle neck diameter, it reliably clogs the bottle and is easy to clean. Specialized stoppers for champagne bottles are produced, and stoppers with a built-in corkscrew are also included in this category.
