champagne stopper

Fizz preservation cap

A champagne stopper is a device that seals an opened bottle of champagne or sparkling wine to preserve carbonation.

Unlike cork stoppers, champagne stoppers typically have a clamp or lever mechanism that grips the bottle's lip, countering the pressure of dissolved carbon dioxide: I bought a champagne stopper so we wouldn't have to finish the whole bottle.
