question on wine stoppers

[benvh]

I realize the solution is to drink the whole bottle...

But, I find that to be less and less practical these days so I'm looking for one or two good wine stoppers. Anyone have any advice on what works well? I see more cork stoppers than I expected to see. Does cork work as well or better than plastic, etc? How about longevity?

I use a vacuum thing. Nothing fancy, just a hand pump and rubber stoppers. The hand pump clicks when it's ready. It does seem to keep things fresher longer. I've had it... could be a decade by now.

Silicone stoppers work well

These. Nothing fancy. They have been the best for me. But I usually go for the drink it all method..... like right now

HAHAHAHA. I just read this review on the above that I posted. Haven't thought to do this as I usually only stop at one bottle

My wife asked me to order these for her but she weren't at home when they arrived and when I opened them I seemed like I had a good idea to use one of them in my butt. I used the red one. I am give her the yellow one and when she asked why didn't there come two of them I said I accidentally dropped the red one in the garbage disposal in the sink and ran it then it was ruined. I am keeping it in my secret container in my closet where I have a nude magazine. Help other customers find the most helpful reviews

I use this vacuum pump. Not sure if truly preserves the wine but at least it's a little better than not sucking at least some of the air out.

I use the inert gas to keep the wine fresh and simply re-use the cork as a stopper.

Decant into a smaller wine bottle (eg: 375ml) and cork.

That's my solution.
