What can I use in place of a cork?

Use Paper Towel if You’ve Lost the Cork If that happens, you can make a temporary cork out of paper towel, plastic wrap, and tape. This is only a temporary solution until you find a cork or a wine stopper, but it will work in a pinch. It will only keep for a day or so, so you’ll need to replace it quickly.

Should wine be refrigerated after opening?

Does wine need to be refrigerated after opening? Yes! Just as you store open white wine in the refrigerator, you should refrigerate red wine after opening. Beware that more subtle red wines, like Pinot Noir, can start turning “flat” or taste less fruit-driven after a few days in the refrigerator.

What can I use if I don’t have a wine stopper?

1) The Screw & Hammer Method You’ll need a screwdriver, a screw (ideally longer than an inch), and a hammer. Drive the screw into the cork with the screwdriver until there’s only a half-inch sticking out. Using the hammer, gently pull up on the screw as though you are removing a nail.

Can you put wine back in the bottle?

Yes, it’s OK. But if there’s a bit of sediment left in the bottle, you might want to give it a quick rinse first, before pouring the wine back in. Then I drain the bottle as best I can before pouring the wine back in. Funnels are extremely helpful for this.
