Aussie Bottle Stoppers
Not sure if this a new idea but I haven't seen it before.
No need for those wood turning stopper kits in Aus because most of wine now has screw tops. Just collect the wine bottle caps (after drinking the wine of course) and it's an easy job to turn up decorative caps to your own design. Make great gifts for Aussie wine drinkers.
So far I have found that the various caps are interchangeable so they will fit most bottles. Also found that they all fit in a recess drilled with a 30mm Forstener bit with little or no adjustment. Easy!

A good idea . There could be many vatiations in the shape . It always surprises me that the traditional wine bottle stoppers still sell well .

I think you'll find that the cask wine 'tap' is probably lower. I went on a winery tour in the Hunter Valley years ago. The guide, when asked where does the lees (spelling?) or junk/sludge from the bottom of the vat go replied that it is pumped to South Australia where they make it into cask wine.

Nice idea. I find once the lid comes off there's no reason to put it back on!!!!! Still like it though

Yep you win, Cask Wine is most likely bottom of the list (but they sell a huge amount of it)
doragus after getting side tracked it is a great idea maybe you should laser engrave them "doragus bottle stopper"
