10 of the Best Wine Stoppers and Tools for Preserving Wine

Whether you keep a fully stocked wine cellar, enjoy the occasional glass of cabernet sauvignon, or fall somewhere in between, it's important to keep the proper tools on hand to preserve a bottle of wine. From basic wine stoppers that will keep the contents of your bottle good for a few days to innovative wine preservation systems that maintain the quality for years, you'll find there's a wide range of wine tools available to suit your specific need, whatever it may be.

The most simple version of these products are basic rubber bottle stoppers, like a colorful set from Rabbit. They feature a sturdy grip, which keeps the stopper in place even as you move it in and out of the refrigerator or pantry. You can even use the multi-colored stoppers to remind yourself of when you opened a particular bottle (think blue for Wednesday and maroon for Friday). And while you may not think it's possible to preserve the pop, fizz, clink inside a glass of sparkling wine or Champagne, we found an under-$10 Champagne stopper will do the trick. It creates a super tight seal, which prevents both leakage and the bubbles from popping.

Looking for a way to preserve an open bottle of wine for months—or even years? While most wine stoppers only maintain the quality of wine for a few days, two products from Coravin—their original wine preservation system for corked bottles and screwcaps—will do just that.

Next time you want to have just one glass of wine—or need to cook with a small amount—you can. These wine stoppers and preservers make it easy to open and seal a bottle at your leisure.

In four moody shades of burgundy, navy, gray, and black, these rubber bottle stoppers are perfect for preserving a bottle of wine for a few hours or a few days. The rubber grip helps anchor the stopper in place—and we love that they're dishwasher safe.
