Wine stoppers seal out air from an opened wine bottle to prevent oxidation of the wine. They also provide a platform to show a beautiful piece of wood that has been turned into an attractive shape on the lathe. Sometimes I add semiprecious gems to my turnings to enhance the beauty of the wood.
I create a few different styles of wine stoppers:
- “Plumb bob” style. These have a silicone rubber seal. The bottle must be vertical for these to work properly.
- Cork. This type will seal the bottle and allows horizontal storage of the bottle. They have a limited lifetime as the cork will wear out.
- Ginter. This type of stopper seals the bottle in any orientation and lasts a long time because of the silicone rubber seal.
I don’t keep all of my inventory on this site. So if you don’t see something you like, send me an email.
