I can't keep up with all the info and good ideas for blog entries that people have been e-mailing me. Here's one that Baltamour blogger Miss J forwarded. It's the Zork, a "patented, alternative wine closure" -- in other words, an anti-cork. Here's a look at it and a glass stopper in "The International Review of Wine Packaging and Aesthetics, Vol. 15: Stopper edition."

On a distantly related note, there's an interesting discussion going on across the way at Consuming Interests about beer in cans vs. beer in glass bottles. I guess it all falls vaguely under the heading of Technology vs. Tradition.
