5. Bottle Stopper: Preserve Wine Like a Pro
When a wine bottle is opened, exposure to air helps it evolve and develop in flavor—but too much air? That leads to a stale wine nobody wants to drink.

Why wine lovers like it: Stoppers are great for preventing wine from going stale and are especially helpful when corks are damaged or difficult to reinsert. They’re practical, affordable, and keep your wine fresh for a couple of days—perfect for anyone who doesn’t want to waste a good bottle.
