Tonight we stripped the capsule from a Sicilian Nero D'Avola to find the wine stoppered with this lovely closure. It's glass, with a soft plastic gasket. It lifted easily from the lip, and made a satisfying clink when set down beside the bottle. A bauble like this becomes part of the aesthetics of experience, part of the enjoyment. It's a keeper.
Love, love love these. If I ever make wine this is what I want to use.
Nothing stopping you – or should I say, “stoppering you?”
Cheers,
Meg
How fancy, I love it. 🙂
Yes, my husband had seen these before, but I’d never encountered one. Beautiful.
The only drawback with a glass closure is that our cats can’t play with it—but then, we’re usually not hurting for a supply of corks.
