Anyone know where I can buy something roughly like this

Thanks,
Steve

It looks homemade to me. Nicely done but small production run and
probably very expensive to make.
These people have plastic topped corks which are for uk competition use
www.thebrewshop.com
they're on this page

Steve,
I've seen similar examples to the cork shown in your link. Slightly
tapered with a decorative top. They are generally "window-dressing" for a
bottle of wine that has been opened, and you don't want to look cheap by
shoving the original cork back in the bottle. Whew! Did you get all that? As
to the previous reply, you are probably better off with the plastic-topped
rendition for corking your wine. Rather than something that is for only
temporary use, and looks prettier than it is functional.
