One of my favourite sights is a half-full wine bottle with a cork stuck into it. It looks more inviting, friendlier, than a bottle not yet opened.
It’s also a great way to save a bottle that you didn’t finish, and set it aside to enjoy later.
Perhaps you’d like to do this with beer, as well as with wine?
Beer Savers are silicone bottle camp charms, and they should fit most nearly any bottle of beer. They’re designed, according to the website, “to help keep beer fresh and safe.”
Fresh — maybe. I’m sure that it would be better than just leaving a beer lying around, but no second capping will keep a beer well-carbonated for longer than a few extra hours, I’m sure.
Safe is the one that gets me. “beersavers™ help keep your beer safely identified when in clubs, bars and restaurants,” they tout.
Surely would-be date-rape druggists could pop off a silicone cap? And, really, do you see anyone actually using this while on a night out at the bar? Beers are for sipping — a cap would quickly get annoying.
Anyway, they’re for sale. Eight bucks for six.
