The Door Knob Wine Stoppers are a fun do-it-yourself project that anyone can partake in, as long as they are over the age of 21 (or whatever the age limit for drinking is in different countries). Of course, it could be a present for someone who can put it into good use. As its name suggests, the Door Knob Wine Stoppers are a repurposed handle that help keep [opened bottles fresh](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/placemat-hightop-table) for as long as possible.

A fun and practical project created by Artfully Reimagined, the Door Knob Wine Stoppers are meant to be made with classic [antique handles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/belt-handle), but depending on a person's style and taste, modern versions can also be used. Essentially, an [eco-friendly cork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rotterdam-urban-winery) has been screwed onto the opposite side to convert it into a stopper.
