'Wine Condom' provides ultimate protection
ERJ staff report (TP)
McKinney, Texas − Described as “the ultimate protection for wine lovers”, the Wine Condom has been designed by Mitchell Strahan and his mother (who works as a stand-up comedian) as a way of easily resealing a bottle of wine and no doubt sparking some interesting conversation, reported Lauren May for The Drinks Business.
Each disposable “condom”, developed by a rubber company specialising in food, is adaptable and can be used on any bottle.
Writing on their Kickstarter page Strahan said the invention sits flush with a wine bottle eliminating the ”Pain-In-The-Ass-Leans-To-The-Side-Which-Never-Quite-Fits-In-The-Refrigerator-Syndrome” caused by regular bottle stops adding that they are both “convenient, disposable, and hilarious.”
The entrepreneurs have already raised $1,255 (€917) of their $7,500 target (€5,482) having set up the venture on Kickstarter in a bid to attract backers.
