Here is an example of what I'm talking about. Amazon has plugs that look like these, but they are chrome plated plastic. Plastic is a bad material to use in this multi-pronged design. Steel is what you need.

One of the many advantages of drinking Rutte jenever is that every bottle comes with a stylish bar end plug:

Old thread, but I wanted to thank Rootboy for his excellent bar end plugs. 
I didn't commission this set, the previous owner of my McLean did.
Just the right finishing touch.
Well that and one of Henry's excellent bags.

Milremo plastic ones come in nice, bright colors; I have a few. I usually use the black Velox rubber ones, because they're resilient. Whoops, zombie thread . . .

If I don't have the kind that expand, then I pick out a cork from the cork bag. If I get low, time to drink more wine

From a recent build in progress
Nice REG caps to fit perfectly with my 70's Italvega.
