Chrome Plated Champagne Bottle Saver Stopper Review by Ryan Mitchell (New York)

On the rare occasion that the two of us can't finish a bottle of sparkling wine, this bottle stopper/saver comes to the rescue, providing an elegant solution to an unfortunate problem. The first thing I noticed about the product is how attractive and well-made it looks. The device is made up of a "cap" with two side flaps, each of which is connected to the cap with hinges. If you turn the device over, you see a stopper inside the cap; this stopper is spring-loaded, and when pressure is applied, the stopper goes up into the cap. To use it, you place the device on an open sparkling wine bottle and press down. The top of the bottle gets swallowed by the device as the springs press the stopper against the bottle opening, sealing it with the spring-loaded pressure. To lock it into place, you simply fold down the hinge-mounted flaps, which lock onto the lower lip of the sparkling wine bottle. So simple, yet so ingenious!

I've had nothing but positive results when using this device. As described in the name of this product, this is designed to preserve **sparkling wine**, so obviously it won't work (at least not well) on regular wine, soda bottles, or anything else that isn't shaped like a sparkling wine bottle. I've tried it on about 6 different bottles so far (including Cava, Prosecco, and American sparkling wines), and it has fit and worked perfectly on all of them. If you have a bottle of sparkling wine that is dramatically different from the traditional sparkling wine bottle shape, there's a good chance this won't work. Remember that this stopper works based on the shape of the bottle, not the fact that it's sparkling wine.

The longest I've left this on an open bottle has been 5 days. As soon as I poured the first glasses from the new bottle, I sealed it with this and refrigerated the bottle. After 5 days of storage, the sparkling wine was pretty darn close to when it was opened, though obviously a little less effervescent. I can't report on how well this may store sparkling wines after 5 days, but you really shouldn't be storing it any longer than that. Remember that this product helps keep the wine from going "flat," but it doesn't do anything to slow down oxidation, the process that begins breaking down the taste and quality of wine as soon as it's opened. So think of this as an extension of a few days, not a long-term solution, and drink your leftover wine while it's still at its peak, no longer than 3-5 days!

I hope this item prevents me from drinking the whole bottle of champagne or sparkling wine at one sitting. This is what I usually do, as there is no way to prevent it going flat. Can you dig it?
