Don’t put a cork in it
Got leftover wine? ouring vino from an unfinished bottle into this ingenious glass carafe by U.S.-based Savino will keep it fresh for four to seven days, depending on the wine’s acidity and tannin content. The secret: A floating disk acts as an oxygen barrier when the cylinder’s vertical; tilt to pour and the disk automatically bobs to the side to let liquid through.

Happy Hour: Everybody must get stones … but they shouldn’t
For the oenophile, the Kickstarter-funded Savino ($50) solves the problem of what to do with leftover wine — or the tyranny of 750 millilitres, as the company puts it. Rather than just stick a cork or stopper in that partially completed bottle destined for the fridge, you can use the Savino to store it. A clever gizmo floats atop the wine, sealing it off from oxygen, thus saving it from spoiling.
