Why design a wine stopper with electronics?

1

Easy to open

The walnut head with top slots and side notches improves grip.

2

An object with presence

Wood and steel give the stopper the look of a quality accessory.

3

Electronics in minimal volume

A flat circular board and a replaceable battery fit inside the head.

4

A connected product

The IoT and AI side opens the door to smart wine features.

“A stopper is a small object that is handled every day. Fitting a board and a battery in the head without it showing or losing grip was the challenge. If we could do this, we can surely do your idea.”
