Most wine, beverage and lifestyle stores carry wine stoppers. Some of these stoppers are made with a tapered cork so that it is easy to cork your wine. Other types of stoppers are plastic and or rubber and these work just as well. If you have lost your Champagne or sparkling wine cork or more often it doesn't fit back into the bottle, try a Champagne stopper. The Champagne stopper is hinged with a rubber seal. This type of stopper is a must for sparkling wines because the pressure build up inside the bottle can cause a regular stopper to pop out. A cork popping out can be dangerous but, even worse if your sparkling wine loses its cork for many hours the wine may become flat.

∙ 14y agoIn fine restaurants, the cork is handed to you after the bottle is open, so that you can smell it, and tell the waiter if it is OK to pour it or not. If the cork smells bad, then it is likely the wine has turned bad as well.
