What you need: A piece of wax paper.

What you do: When you're ready to close up the bottle, take the wax paper and wrap the cork in it. Shove the wrapped end of the cork back in the opening.

Why it works: The wax paper acts like a lubricant, making it was easier to slide the cork back into the bottle, and as a barrier, making it harder for errant pieces of cork to float around in your Merlot.
