Vino-Seal glass stoppers are the newest alternatives to corks. Made by Alcoa, the elegant glass bottle stoppers look like decorative decanter tops and seal the wine bottle using a rubber O-ring. They come sealed within a easy open capsule (the metal/plastic sleeve overcap) like other wine bottles and don't require a corkscrew or twisting off. Just remove the capsule and gently pry out the stopper with your thumb. To close just insert the stopper back into the opening. This is a great idea, and a new alternative to the sometimes annoying plastic corks and screw tops. The stoppers will be available in glass and acrylic and I assume in an assortment of colors, clear, translucent, opaque, or frosted.Whitehall Lane, a small, family owned winery in California's Napa Valley is the first winery in the US to use the new stoppers in 45,000 bottles of Whitehall Lane premium 2003 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon which will retail for $75, and 3,000 bottles of its premium 2003 Leonardini Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon which will retail for $100.
