The redundant silicone screw stopper saves 'leftover' wineSometimes — not often but sometimes — I am invited to real people’s homes. In these homes we sometimes eat, and often drink. Then, when we’re “done”, the host will grab the half-full bottle of wine and slip in a cap. It may be a simple rubber stopper, or a more complex Vacu-Vin-style closure with a pump to evacuate the oxidizing air from the bottle.
When I see this, I usually laugh to myself as I leave, passing by the liquor store to pick up a bottle of whisky on my way home to bed.
For me, an opened bottle is a started bottle, and I was always taught to finish what I started, however difficult it might be. You might guess, then, that I do not, not have I ever, owned a special stopper for wine. Besides, every bottle comes with its own cork, which can be flipped and jammed back in if you have an emergency — say you have to leave the house before the bottle is done and must take it with you.
For those amateurs out there, those weak-minded fools who never finish what they begin, then may I recommend you check out these novelty silicone bottle screws. They resemble exaggerated cartoon-like Philips-head screws, but need only to be pushed into the bottle’s neck to seal it. Inexplicably, they come in sets of three, meaning that somebody, somewhere thinks you’ll need to seal three bottles at once.
A set of screws costs $13, which is $13 that could have been spent on alcohol.
