The Double-Duty Gadget: The Drip-Free Wine Pourer & Stopper
Share
The Best Wine Pourer
Recommend: Vintage 82 Stainless Pourer
It's a simple, annoying problem: you finish pouring a glass of red wine, lift the bottle, and a single, treacherous drip runs down the side, staining your bottle, your hand, and your nice white tablecloth.
What It Is: A small spout, often made of stainless steel or plastic, that you insert into the neck of the bottle. Many models also double as a simple, low-profile stopper.
Why You Actually Need It (The "Proof"): It's a $10 solution to a $100 problem (aka, your dry cleaning bill). The spout is designed with a sharp lip that "cuts" the pour, preventing any drips from forming. It gives you a clean, elegant, professional-looking pour, every single time. It's a small thing, but it feels so much better.
How It Makes Your Wine Experience Better: No drips, no mess, no stress. Many models are also designed to be low-profile stoppers, which are far easier to fit in the fridge door than the original cork. It's a simple, dual-purpose, high-value tool.
What to Look For: Look for one made of stainless steel with a rubber or silicone seal. They're sleek and last forever.
