Good point. For that matter they are filling our landfills with them also. I wonder if you will end up with that good "plastic" taste to your wine over time also. They do seal the bottle better but I wonder how it tastes with age? Hmmm. I like Jimmy's idea for using them on Lanyards. They do seem better suited for that. I'm not so sure I would like them as grips on rods. They will last longer and be more durable but you lose something in the appeal of the rod. Deb
