Stoppers – A better way to keep your drink's taste and scent alive

What is a wine stopper and why do I need it?

A wine stopper is a device that is used to seal an opened bottle of wine to prevent air from entering and ruining the wine. Wine stoppers are available in a variety of forms, sizes, and materials, including plastic, silicone, and stainless steel.

If you like drinking wine but rarely finish a bottle in one sitting, you need a wine stopper because when a wine bottle is opened, the air immediately oxidises it, changing its flavour and fragrance.

A wine stopper can also assist avoid spillage and keep your wine fresh and ready to drink for your next serving. By sealing the bottle with a wine stopper, you can significantly delay the oxidation process and maintain the wine's quality for a longer time.

Wine stoppers are a must-have item for wine connoisseurs who want to experience the flavour and scent of their favourite wines for as long as possible. At Kulina stores, there is a wide range of high-quality wine stoppers from manufacturers like WMF and Zwilling.

How do I use a wine stopper?

To use a wine stopper, first, open the bottle of wine and pour out the necessary amount. Put the wine stopper into the bottle's neck and press down until it snaps into place. Keep the wine bottle in a cold, dark area.

Remove the wine cork and pour out the desired amount when ready to drink again. Some wine stoppers are reusable, so wash them properly before using them again.

What is the difference between a wine pourer and a wine stopper?

A wine pourer is a device that attaches to the top of a wine bottle and regulates the flow of wine as it is poured. It usually has a tiny spout or nozzle that prevents drips and spills, making it simpler to pour wine without spilling it.

Certain wine pourers are also intended to aerate the wine as it is poured, which can improve the flavour and fragrance of the wine.

A wine stopper, on the other hand, is a tool used to seal an opened bottle of wine to prevent air from entering and ruining the wine, as previously explained.

The main difference between a wine pourer and a wine stopper is its function. Wine pourers are used to help pour wine, whereas wine stoppers are used to keep wine once it has been opened.
