Farmhouse Pottery Wine Stopper

The Gent stopper features a standard push-in design that fits most wine and liquor bottles. Because it is a universal tapered style, it works best with standard cork-finish openings rather than screw-top bottles.

To preserve the wood, hand wash the stopper with mild soap and warm water, then dry it immediately. Avoid soaking it in water or putting it in the dishwasher, as this can cause the wood to warp or crack.

Yes, the stopper is designed to create a secure, airtight seal. This helps slow the oxidation process, keeping your wine or spirits fresh for a few days after opening.

Since it is made from natural American hardwood, you may want to occasionally treat it with a food-safe mineral oil or wood conditioner to keep the grain hydrated and prevent it from drying out over time.

While it is designed for wine and liquor, the stopper works perfectly for any standard bottle opening. Just be aware that the wood may absorb the scent of strong vinegars or oils over time.
