(Unfortunately, we are not related.)\u00a0 This little wine stopper and one of those bottles of wine make a simple hostess gift a little more special.\u00a0 I&#8217;ve been told that you shouldn&#8217;t really save a bottle of wine that isn&#8217;t completely consumed after it is opened.\u00a0 However, there&#8217;s nothing wrong with using it for cooking.\u00a0 This bottle stopper
