Know before you buy
This stopper is specifically designed for standard wine bottle necks. It may not provide a secure fit for spirits, olive oil, or non-standard bottle sizes.
Hand wash the stopper with mild soap and water, then dry it thoroughly. To keep the wood looking its best, apply a light coat of food-grade linseed oil whenever the oak begins to look dry.
No, this stopper is not designed to be leakproof. It is intended to keep your wine fresh while the bottle remains in an upright position.
Each piece is unique due to the nature of reclaimed oak. You should expect variations in wood grain, color, and texture, which are part of the material's history and rustic charm.
No, this stopper is not dishwasher safe. High heat and prolonged exposure to water can warp or damage the natural oak construction.
