Wine by the Glass

In response to the obviously tight economy lately, restaurants have made wine by the glass more available.  Buying wine by the glass instead of a whole bottle is more economical, and that is the name of the game in today’s market.  They are increasing the selection of wines available by the glass because more effective saving has let restaurants make the last pour taste just as good as the first.  Some restaurants are even starting to offer wine on tap, rather in the same way as beer.
 But in the name of being money wise, why even go out to eat as often.  There are ways to have just a glass or two from a bottle and then save it in your own home.  Try a simple metro wine bottle stopper for short term storage of the remainder of the bottle.  That gives you the chance to enjoy the rest the next day without any diminished quality.  Vacuum systems exist to suck the air out of the bottle, more or less sealing it again, but a simple stopper can do wonders for you and is so much easier to use.  But this of course is not saying that going to a nice restaurant and trying something new, just a glass of it, isn’t nice too.
