It takes a true Star Trek fan to appreciate the awesomeness of the Borg Cube Wine Stopper. The Borg were one of the main antagonists in the television series 'Star Trek: The Next Generation.' Even those unfamiliar with the show will know the Borg by their famous catchphrase "resistance is futile." The Borg Cube Wine Stopper is designed after the spaceships used by the villainous alien race.
Geek culture has successfully infiltrated nearly all aspects of life, including drinking. Those who love sci-fi shows, video games and comic books don't have to look very far for geeky wine stoppers, bottle openers or even bottles of beer/vino/spirits. In addition to being a replica of a Borg Cube, this wine cap also lights up. It's available now and sells for $21.99.
