Glass Stoppers for Wine

June 9, 2011 By Rhino Wino Leave a Comment

Having only been around for about four years, this is an extremely new trend in the ancient world of wine, but glass “corks” are still an almost unknown brilliant idea. Originally made more out of necessity than any aesthetic reason, these glass stoppers are a tool in fighting against the compound TCA that makes “corked” bottles of wine. Yup, these classy looking glass stoppers were not made to look slicker than a traditional cork but to be completely sterile. They can catch a person by surprise the first time a glass stopper is encountered. They sit, see through and pretty, just under the foil cover of the wine bottle but they are not some kind of defect; just the possible future for corking wine.
It should be obvious from glance that corkscrews are not needed for these, just flick them off the top of the bottle and it is already ready to reuse. But it seems there is a charm to corks, because these seemingly perfect wine stoppers are not very popular, even with their ability to be simple washed and recycled by the home wine lover and winery alike. Of course if a wine can be aged or not with these glass stoppers is still up for debate, maybe that is why classic corks are still the most widely popular way of stopping up a bottle of wine.
