This unusual wine stopper by Jae Hyuk Lee is designed to look like the pop tab on a can of soda. Unfortunately, the design of pop tabs on soda cans can only be used once, and can cause soda to go flat if you don't drink it all at once. This design takes the idea of the pop tab and makes it so you can open and close your wine bottles for consumption at another time.
The colorful rubber 'Poptop Stoppers' provide an airtight seal to keep wine fresh. Similarly, the Poptop recreates this feeling of freshness each time the Poptop is opened like a brand new can of soda. This fun and clever design is a great way to improve and adapt a design's functionality for a new product.
