As nearly as I can tell, they’re available only on top of bottles containing that specific wine. Perhaps you can find those bottles in one of your local wine outlets?

Even I would hate to special-order a few bottles just for their stoppers… [grin]

You happen to know where I can purchase these glass “corks”?

preserve the flavor and wine better

That's what I'd think, but isn't the tree bark in a real cork supposed to add a special quality to the wine? I'm sure some wine snob will object to introducing newfangled plastic into the mix... [grin]

nobody gets to make money off it before you do!

I must immediately patent the concept of recycling glass stoppers as decorative illuminated dust-collectors!

I have heard using those glass stoppers is supposed to preserve the flavor and wine better than using a cork. I happen to be used to corks myself. I do think adding LED lights might be a novelty idea. Hey, hope nobody gets to make money off it before you do!

just the plastic ring at the top

That’s it: the plastic ring around the stem snapped into an almost imperceptible lip inside the bottle opening. There is absolutely no chance those things will ever fit another bottle, but I couldn’t let them hit the trash can.

Just what I need: another project to keep me off the streets at night…

Neat. No o-ring or just the plastic ring at the top? Sort of like the old apothecary bottles.

>>Perhaps I don’t get out nearly enough…

Nah, there is always important work to be done … socializing is so overrated ;-)
