WARNING: there is a different gadget that looks almost the same but it doesn't work at all. The shiny metal part looks the same. But instead of a soft, hollow cork 5/8 inch long, there is a hard 1/8 inch nub that does a very poor job of sealing the bottle. If the bottle is on its side, wine will leak out. Even if the bottle is upright, all the pressure will leak out.
So buy the gadget with a 5/8 inch cork, not the one with a 1/8 inch nub.
UPDATE: JUDGING BY OTHER REVIEWS, THE 1/8 INCH HARD PLASTIC NUB HAS BEEN REPLACED BY A 1/8 INCH SOFT (RUBBER?) NUB WHICH SEEMS TO WORK WELL AT SEALING THE BOTTLE. At least, that's what a number of reviewers report. Will retailers sell their remaining stock of hard nubs or return them to the factory? How do you tell if the nub is soft or hard if there are no reviews saying that it's soft or that it works well? I'm afraid that I don't know the answer to either of those questions. I only know that the 5/8 inch "cork" type works very well for me. I guess that you should only buy champagne stoppers with all positive reviews. Or play it extra safe and look for the 5/8 inch cork AND positive reviews.
Buy Super-Seal Champagne Stopper Now
this is great quality and is perfect for my martinelli's sparkling apple cider and TJ's italian grapefruit soda. nothing goes flat!I have purchased many types of champagne/sparkling wine corkers over the years. I've tried the latest greatest promising great results. Alas, I am now returning to the standard, tried and true corker. This one gives a nice tight seal, and the bubbles last.this cork works better than those with a flat bottom with regards to sealing the bubbles into the champagne. I will buy more.
