Drip stoppers prevent excess liquid from spilling out of bottles while pouring and returning them to an upright position. They are made of elastic materials and can be used for pouring stock, condiments, and juices. They can be found in wine and liquor stores or kitchen and cooking stores.
As a handy device built to attach to the neck of a bottle, the drip stopper is intended to prevent excess liquid from escaping from the mouth of the container as the liquid is poured. Here is some background information about the drip cap, its construction, and some of the ways the drip cap can be put to best use.
Drip stoppers are usually made from elastic materials that are as strong as they are flexible. In some cases, the drip cap is constructed with two main pieces and a snap closure that joins the sections together. Increasingly, the two-section style of drip cap uses a series of magnets to create the seal around the dripping bottle neck. Other versions of the drip stopper are a solid piece that will easily stretch to accommodate the neck of the bottle.
The effect on dripping bottles is actually twofold. First, the non-drip cap prevents any loss of excess liquid while pouring the contents of the bottle. Secondly, the utensil is great for stopping drips as the bottle is returned to an upright position. This dual action in stopping tearing either way means there is no wasted liquid and no messy counter or table tops to clean up due to spillage. This means you can enjoy your favorite wine or beverage without wasting a drop, and you won’t spend your time trying to get wine stains out of your favorite linen tablecloth.
In addition to use with wine bottles, a drip stopper can make life a little easier in the kitchen as well. For example, the drip cap will work for pouring stock, condiments, and juices. Because the drip cap is so easy to attach to a bottle, a cap can easily be moved from one bottle neck to the next, or you can buy several drip caps and keep them on the condiments and other liquids you use the most.
While the drip cap becomes a popular kitchen utensil, it’s not as easy to find as other kitchen gadgets. However, many wine and liquor stores will have a selection of drip stoppers to choose from. Even upscale food markets that feature upscale and imported domestic wine selections may contain different types of drippers. A third option is to check with kitchen and cooking stores, as the drip cap is also very useful for other types of liquids.
