The 'Wasted' bottle stopper is a charming yet functional accessory for wine drinkers to keep on-hand when looking for a way to keep their favorite libation fresh between pours. Designed by Nadav Goldenberg and OTOTO, the wine topper is intended to be positioned directly onto a bottle of open wine and will immediately go to work keeping air out. The stopper can be depressed to have the wine glass-holding wooden character on the top lose its balance and fall over to draw a cheeky correlation to what could happen if one has too much to drink.
The 'Wasted' bottle stopper draws design inspiration from wooden children's toys and highlights the demand for playful bar accessories as adult consumers seek to lead a more carefree everyday lifestyle.
