Wine Condom: a condom to protect your wine
Discover the Wine Condom: An Innovative Way to Preserve Your Wine
Wine Condom: An American Invention
At first glance, the Wine Condom may look like a standard condom. However, its golden packaging labeled "wine" should give you a hint. While it won’t be useful for your romantic encounters, it’s designed to keep your wine fresh and prevent it from going down the drain. This clever invention comes from across the Atlantic, created by American Mitchell Strahan, who noticed the phallic shape of a wine bottle!
A Rubber Gadget with Airtight Seals
So, how does it work? Unlike traditional condoms made from latex, the Wine Condom is made of rubber and is said to preserve wine for a few days. Reusable multiple times, the Wine Condom features airtight seals that prevent the liquid from coming into contact with air or leaking down the bottle. As for the application process... no need for a detailed explanation, it’s just like using a standard condom!

FAQ - Keeping an opened bottle
How long does the Wine Condom keep an opened bottle of wine?
According to its inventor, the Wine Condom keeps your wine for a few days. Its airtight walls limit contact between the liquid and the air, which slows the oxidation of an already opened bottle.
What material is the Wine Condom made of?
Unlike a standard latex condom, the Wine Condom is made of rubber. This flexible material hugs the neck of the bottle and forms a watertight barrier.
Is the Wine Condom reusable?
Yes, the Wine Condom can be used several times. Simply remove it, clean it, then slip it back over the neck for your next opened bottle.
How do you reseal a bottle of wine without a cork?
A silicone or rubber cap like the Wine Condom slides over the neck and closes the bottle tightly. It is a handy fix when the original cork crumbles or goes missing.
Who invented the Wine Condom?
The Wine Condom is an American invention created by Mitchell Strahan. He played on the shape of a wine bottle to design this deliberately offbeat stopper.
