champagne corks
Festive bottle stoppers
Champagne corks are the stoppers used to seal bottles of champagne and other sparkling wines.
Unlike regular wine corks, they're shaped like mushrooms—wider at the top where they've expanded after being compressed into the bottle neck.
The distinctive pop when removing one signals celebration: Champagne corks flew at midnight.
