Two years ago I ordered a bottle of wine at my favorite Italian restaurant in Olympia, Washington and was surprised that the “cork” was made of glass. It’s a small pleasure, but I delight in using it to cork my bottles of wine at home. I still buy that wine whenever I visit Clare in Olympia, then give the stoppers away.
I’ve never seen one–although it looks a lot like some of the zillion stoppers I have with my lab glass.

How nice. Though down here in the south, we use screw tops. The wine isn’t at risk of any air seeping in. I’m always surprised when I order a European wine, or when my relatives brought a Californian wine, that still uses cork. I’m wondering how effective the glass is in comparison.
