Wine bottle balancers / wine racks?

Traditionally, a cork in a wine or beer bottle would eventually dry up, and the first thing that would evaporate through would be the alcohol, since the molecules of alcohol are smaller than water or sugar molecules. When it goes, the wine will then go sour, since the alcohol serves as a preservative.

Keeping the bottle upside down keeps wine on the cork, keeping it soaked, expanded, and sealed tight. Only about half the cork gets soaked, and sets up as a seal. You can store wine for years, even decades this way.
Same with beer…

Next project… beer holder that holds my cans upside down… :) lol I don’t know why I find that so funny. You are spot on with the explanation though.

i used to think that cooking a chicken on a grill with a can of beer stuck up it’s butt was funny…till I ate some! Maybe your upside down beer project will make the beer taste better?

Good explanation. Thanks.

Yeah, I have one of those beer can chicken cookers. Works great.

There are also balancers for wine bottles that just look good, something to draw comments.
