george lee: a date with wine
‘a date with wine’
new york-based designer george lee, founder of le mouton noir & co., whose ‘tea time‘ project we previously featured, has sent us his newest product, a wine stopper called ‘a date with wine’.
in trying to keep his design modern with a bit of an industrial look, the stopper is made from a food-grade stainless steel and silicone. the main feature of this device is that it comes with twistable date rings which help users remember when they have opened their bottles of wine, allowing them to decide whether or not their wine is still drinkable.

can this be bought?
wow. I need one, two,…no…more…
Very cool design !
umm..I always finish the whole bottle, but it is beautifully made anyway. I think I can date my wife’s birthday and give to her for birthday dinner. Available any store? Designboom store?
How many time a bottle needs to be “not good”?
Good design~ when I can buy?
what about smelling and tasting the wine in order to see if it went bad…. more crap for the consumers…
Very beautiful and need one for my half drunk brother in law.
very beauty,but when i open one,i finish it!!
so cool looking. this will absolutely come in handy
thoughtful design
This is an awesome and smart design. Can’t wait to have one. Does anyone know where to find it?
This is smart, i can’t wait to get it from the store!
smart design, I like it.
More than likely if you can’t remember when you corked it, it’s no longer any good!
Excellent idea. Can’t wait to see it in the market!!
Thumbs Up. Very useful d;-)
where can i buy it?
What material is that? looks great.
This is beautiful design: form and funcion come togehter!
How neat! Very impressed, George.
how about writing the date on the cork?
how about the cork breaks when you open it? I think everyone has this experience breaking the cork. This is a thoughtful design eventhough I usually finish the bottle. I want one one my desk, it is handsome.
Happened to know the designer.
And I know he always come up with a great idea and never stop thinking.
His creatively is unstop-able.
Proven here with his new design. Small thing, big thought, well executed.
Now that is a brilliant idea! I love that the design and look was not sacrificed in order to accommodate the functionality. Thanks, [url=http://www.greensurfshop.com/brands/Sanuk.html] Sanuk. [/url]
No need for this. Just write the date on the label/bottle and save your money. However, I like the design.
Simple idea, brilliant development, great work. A nice bottle of wine deserves a nice stopper like this no matter if you want date it. I love it. Seriously, where can I see it?
