Best gadget/stopper to prevent sparkling wine going flat

[ChocolateCherry]

Obviously the best solution is to drink the whole bottle but is there anything anyone can recommend to stop my Prosecco going flat so that I can have it over a couple of days please?

No way can I jam the cork back in.

I just put a teaspoon in the neck, handle dangling into the bottle. Works every time!

No sorry, I have never, ever needed such a contraption :o

But just came on to say the spoon thing is cobblers

Yep, second the teaspoon.

Wow really!? I wonder how that works

Many thanks, will give it a go

Hahaha x-post :o

I always wonder about the teaspoon. Some people say it works and some say it absolutely doesn't. I used to have a wine bottle stopper I sent off for with silk cut cigarette tokens, but I never had cause to try it

There is no way it could or should work. And there is a scientific paper somewhere that tested it and disproved it.

And yet some people swear by it.
I have never tried it :)

I always thought that! Surely the bubbles are small enough to pass between the tea spoon and the neck of the bottle? I just assumed it must be some kind of magic!

You need a decent vacuum pump thingie. ..

I just assumed it must be some kind of magic

I think that about a lot of things really...the microwave, electricity, the radio, even the fact that I'm talking to people on here...all magic It's pretty obvious I didn't pay attention too much in science at school I'll def try the teaspoon though.

Let us know what happens
No sneaky casting a spell on it though!

I have this, it's what they use in bars, you can buy them off ebay, amazon,etc

Like justa this is mine, given to us when we bought a case of Prosecco from the producers (distant memory!). It grabs onto the neck of the bottle and keeps the bubbles in with its rubber bung. I think Kaiser sell them.

Yes, I think I'll have to conduct my own experiment. Like the look of the stoppers pictured too. Thanks everyone, cheers
