Dated Wine Stopper


Wine does get better with time, but not after you have opened it. That's where the Date Wine Stopper for $60 comes in. This sweet little wine stopper from Gselect is made out of stainless steel and has as rubber stopper, but the best part of it is that you can record the date that you opened your bottle of wine so you know when it goes bad. Pretty neat idea, even for $60. I just hate drinking an already open bottle of wine and not remembering when I opened it, then finding out it is spoiled after I already took a taste.
