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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wine-and-beer-openers), 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pop-top) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joystick-decanter) as adult consumers seek to lead a more carefree everyday lifestyle.
