I would like to make decorative wine stoppers. Can these be used for that purpose or only for newly bottled wine?

The corks are straight not flared. If you can push it back into the neck of the bottle then it's not a tight seal and you'll see the wine flavor changed. There are wine cork machine you could use to recork the bottle, but that's another $20 or so and have to be reworked every time it was opened.

Depends on your skills. My wife has made quite a few framed art things out of the corks. She gets a lot of very good comments on the Art also.

I believe these corks can be used for many things. My wife used some of our cork order to make a wine cork wreath which hangs in our kitchen. Of course, she used more of our used wine corks.

We have not yet used them for wine however, they are glass and we have no reservarsion in doing so. This is something we will try.

Hi, I've only used this on liquor bottles and ones for oil/vin. They are cheap enough that you can find a use for them if it turns out not to fit a beer bottle.

Haven't used them on such beverages, buy after the bottles are opened, doing there is sufficient pressure to expel these stoppers.

The Zyliss Bottle stoppers are sized for a wine bottle. The plastic soda bottle's opening is slightly too large for it to work.

They are rather large to be used as coasters (roughly 6" square), but I suppose you could. We use them for post/pans/containers direct from the microwave. So hot stuff. Cork sort of naturally repels liquid - that's why they use it to seal wine bottles. The trivets are really good quality and sturdy.

I think they would. I used them with a wide wine glass. The problem would be that they come to a peak and the side of the mason jar is straight. I don't think it would look quite as nice

Yup. I know they work on wine bottles because I've tried it. I believe beer bottles have a similar diameter neck, so they should fit just fine, but I'm not sure how well they work pouring carbonated beverages though.

I don't see why not? Though, if you are storing it for a long while you might want to think about something that is completely air tight. I use these for wine and they keep the bottle fresh for a few days at most.

I don't know. They are heavy to begin with. I would be afraid of the weight after you put the wine bottles in it.

It would be best to use a wine stopper which will make a air tight seal. You can also use a cork if a stopper is not available. Cork is porous and may not make a tight seal when reinserted. Will work for any type of wine.

Yes, I used this for wine bottle hummingbird feeders. They worked OK but not great. I had to be really careful how I filled them or they would either not drip or drip a little too much. I have not tried the more expensive ones so cannot recommend anything different.

Hi Kay, I just went and shoved one in a beer bottle. It fits in with about 1/2 inch sticking out the top. I'm not sure what you are planning on using these for. But they are very tapered, so they wouldn't seal something completely for long term. I used them for making decorative wine bottle stoppers. The kind you us for the short term after opening a bottle of wine. They worked great for that.Regards,Shelley

Probably because you could use them for table-size bottles of flavored vinegar or olive oil. Personally I use them for opened bottles of wine (if they fit. Depends on the bottle.)

Yes, I have used them with the 1 liter glass Pelligrino bottles (that is why I purchased them). Be aware that if either the cork or the inside of the bottle neck is too wet they may pop out from the gas pressure. A quick wipe of the cork solves the problem and I have stored open bottles on their sides as long as the initial seal is tight. I have not yet used them with the plastic bottles as they come with a screw cap but I am sure they would be fine for that application as well.

The stoppers are reusable. You can easily rinse them off. This is a great wine saver! I give them as gifts.
