What's a good way to close a bottle back up after the cork's removed?!


Question: you can either use t-corks (tasting corks) which are basically half a cork with a plastic cap on it (you see them a lot on liquor bottles) (like these http://www.midwestsupplies.com/products/... ), or an expansion stopper (like these http://www.midwestsupplies.com/products/... ) or your best choice is a vacuum pump...

The vacuum pump is the only option that will keep your wine from oxidizing too quickly. Any bottle of wine should be drunk within a few days to a week after opened, the vacuum pump will allow you to extend that up to 2 weeks.

Put the cork back. You can also buy special caps at supermarkets and wine shops.

a wine bottle? you can put the cork back in.

aluminum foil

You can shave the cork down to where it will fit..

you could buy bottle stoppers...

If yo are going to consume the next day, put the cork back in.

If you are really serious, you may wish to invest in an aspiration cork system that removed the oxygen fromt he bottle and, in effect, create a vacuum

I use the cork
shove it in good and air tight
best seal you can get

If it's still wine, the cork should fit back in, but if it's sparkling wine, you can buy wine stoppers from most liquor outlets & kitchenware stores.

Don't be a sooky sooky la la, drink the bloody bottle then ya want have to worry about it. cheers baby.
