I make this pine tree bottle stopper from Rock Maple. The pine tree shape makes an outstanding grip, and besides, Maine is known as “The Pine Tree State”. Sanded silky smooth, I finished the bottle stoppers with foodsafe beeswax. With use the wood will darken to a rich caramel brown. The cone insert is top quality stainless steel which will not rust, flake, or impart metalic flavors to your wine. It is both threaded and glued into the wood with industrial adhesive so it'll never come loose.
Three rubber collars guarantee this bottle stopper will fit any wine bottle.
This stopper makes a fine gift for the wine lover, especially if they are from Maine. Show up at your host's doorstep with this stopper and a nice bottle of wine, and you've got an unexpected gift that will remind them of you and your friendship long after the wine is gone.
My stainless steel/rubber bottle stoppers, as well as those made from cork and glass, are not meant to keep air out of the bottle during the evening as you consume the wine. They are not intended to seal the bottle for storage.
