To properly implement our idea, we will need a standard sealed glass bottle of wine and a regular PET bottle with a thin neck. As a result, we will be able to store the wine much longer than the time indicated on the label after it is opened.
How to replace a cork-based wine bottle closure with a PET bottle cap
We leave about 2-3 cm of the neck under the cap of the PET bottle and remove the rest using a sharp stationery knife. Then open the wine bottle in the traditional way using a corkscrew and remove the cork.
We make sure that the cap of the PET bottle fits exactly with the neck of the glass wine bottle. Now, using the flame of a gas burner, carefully and evenly heat part of the neck of the PET bottle in a circle.
At the same time, the plastic will gradually soften, shrink and wrap more and more tightly around the neck of the glass wine bottle.After waiting for some time and waiting for the plastic to completely harden, we are convinced that the wine bottle is perfectly sealed.
By unscrewing the cap taken from a PET bottle, you can drink a glass of wine and screw the cap tightly again. This method allows you to store wine much longer and the contents of the wine bottle do not lose their original taste, aroma and color.
