Leftover Champagne?

I don’t pretend to be a connoisseur of wine or champagne… in fact, give me a diet Coke, anytime… but when we serve it at parties, we often have half a bottle left. Also not known for my skills at opening bottles because I manage to reduce corks to crumbs which may be seen floating at the bottom. However, luckily, I am fairly handy with an icepick and tube of E-6000! I bought a bunch of these beautiful glass drawer pulls on sale and thought it might be cool to make my own wine stoppers.

They are quick and easy. With an icepick, stick a hole in the center of a cork and scoop out the middle to accommodate the long screw that comes with the drawer pull. Screw it all the way into the glass pull. Insert into cork to test. When hole is deep enough, squeeze a dollop of E-6000 glue into the cork and push all the way down with a bamboo skewer. Reinsert drawer pull screw into cork and let sit for 24 hours. Give the bottle stopper along with a bottle of wine the next time you are a guest in someone’s home. This is sure to be a hit!
