          Buy another bottle - drink it and then use the cork from this for the first bottle - this is called lateral thinking I think hic

            Yes, port will go off if you leave it open for more than, say, a week. Best drink it up, good girl

                A WEEK! Is it possible to keep a bottle that long?

                  After considering all those options, you might want to tie a small piece of foil over the neck of the bottle. (elastic band will hold it better than string, and be more convenient to use). If remnants of cork got into the wine, you need use it up rather more quickly anyway......

                    If you don't have any of those re-usable corks (I always keep a few in a draw in the kitchen but never seem to use them) then can I suggest pouring thru a tea strainer, in case of any bits of stray cork, into a decanter.
