A stopper for use in a substantially cylindrical bottle opening having a
substantially cylindrical shape to seal the bottle opening and including a
first polymer portion and a second polymer portion, wherein the second
polymer portion coaxially overlies the first polymer portion. In another
embodiment, the stopper includes a third polymer portion wherein the first
polymer portion coaxially overlies the third polymer portion. A method of
protecting liquid in a bottle with a substantially cylindrical bottle
opening including providing a stopper having a substantially cylindrical
shape to seal the bottle opening and closing off the bottle by insertion
of the stopper into the bottle opening. A method of producing a stopper
for use in a substantially cylindrical bottle opening comprising extruding
a first polymer portion through an extrusion die, coaxially coating the
first polymer portion with a second polymer portion to form a body.
