Copco Wine Bottle Stopper

About Copco

Founded in 1960, Copco got its start manufacturing cast iron cookware with a porcelain enamel. Over the years, the business evolved to include the production of tea kettles and other housewares, and today the company is the leading manufacturer of tea kettles.

Copco worked with artist Karim Rashid to create uniquely designed barware, including a wine bottle stopper. The result is a set of bottle stoppers that are worthy of being displayed in an art museum. The set, along with a stand for storing the stoppers, is available from Amazon.com in blue or lime – both sell for $25.

Shopping for Copco Wine Bottle Stoppers

While Copco sells a variety of bar-related items, finding a wine bottle stopper is more challenging than meets the eye. Researching a variety of wine accessories online turned up very little in the way of Copco wine bottle stoppers, except for those designed by Karim Rashid, but it did uncover a plethora of other wine stopper options.
