Prevent Flat Ale or Wine

Sick persons who are recommended to use Ale or Porter or
Wine, and can only take a small glass at a time, nearly always
find the last of the bottle flat or stale: to prevent this put in
the cork firmly, and turn the cork end downwards, in a large
tumbler, or other vessel nearly filled with water, which prevents.
communication between the internal and external air.
