When you are choosing all of the different items that will form the décor for your wedding, you are going to find that the list can seem almost endless. Far beyond your wedding gown and the caterer, there are a million little details that have to be taken care of. Most couples think of the bigger items such as the color scheme, the types of table settings that will end up being used and so forth, but the one item that can set your wedding off but is generally overlooked is the use of special wine bottle stoppers on the various bottles of wine that are going to be set out for their guests. The average wedding tends to involve a fairly large selection of wines for the guests as their tastes are likely to vary, some like whites others reds and then of course there are the sweets and the dry wines to choose from. The problem is that once all of these bottles have been opened, it can be very hard to reinsert the original cork to help keep the wine fresh and from getting spilt. If you try to reuse the cork, not only is it hard to do, the odds are good that the cork is going to break off and you end up with bits of cork in the wine, which is very much not acceptable. Using wine stoppers can solve all of these problems and by purchasing decorative styles, you can add a touch of class to your wedding. There are a number of different wedding wine bottle stoppers to choose from, but while what is on top can be very important if you are looking for a keepsake, both for the couple and the guests, it is what is on the bottom that really counts. As you are looking at the different styles such as wedding bells or a special bride and groom design just for the happy couple, you need to keep in mind the main purpose behind these stoppers. They are intended to replace the original cork and not only keep the wine in the bottle from spilling out when you store the wine, but most importantly to keep air from getting into the wine and spoiling it. When wine is exposed to the air for an extended period of time it will oxidize. Over time this can lead to a loss of its bouquet and flavor, left long enough the wine will turn acidic or vinegary in taste and be fit for nothing more than pouring down the drain. If you have saved a bottle of wine from your wedding to share on your first anniversary, you need to do everything you can to ensure that it is still going to taste good when you get there. As you are looking at the various wine bottle stoppers, you are going to find that they have different base materials. Some of the more expensive ones are made from blown glass and feature a number of rubber "O" rings that are designed to form an airtight seal once you insert them into the bottle. You can find a number of these in our online catalog. The more common ones are made using a cork base similar to the original cork that came in your bottle. True wine aficionados will tell you that the use of cork is the only way to seal a bottle of wine and that nothing else will do as it can affect the taste of the wine. There are also a variety of stoppers made with an all rubber base, but these can affect the taste of the wine, especially if you store your bottle properly, which is with the neck down in a rack. If you are going to use a stopper with any kind of rubber, you need to make sure that it is silicone as this tends to not leave any type of taste residue in your wine. The best part of using wine bottle stoppers for wedding favors is that your guests will be able to take one home with them as a memento of your big day.
