An improved cork closure for beverage and wine bottles having a recess on the exterior face of the closure in use. The recess is designed to facilitate the extraction process by providing central constraint on the position of the corkscrew on the face of the closure and to guide the corkscrew along the axis of the closure. This recess does not interfere with any other types of extraction device.

What is claimed is: 1. A closure for a wine bottle opening comprising: a cylindrical body comprising a compressible material having an outer surface and an inner surface, said cylindrical body disposable in the wine bottle opening; a disk-shaped plug disposed on said outer surface of said cylindrical body, said disk-shaped plug comprising an outer face and an inner face and comprising a deformable material; and a corkscrew guide disposed in said outer surface of said disk-shaped plug, said guide comprising an annular recess having one outer opening, said opening smaller than the diameter of said outer surface and smaller than the inner diameter of the bottle opening, and said recess having at least two walls, at least one of said walls to constrain a tip of a corkscrew and to constrain radial positioning of the corkscrew as the corkscrew penetrates said disk-shaped plug, and a closed bottom surface of said recess, said bottom surface disposed in said recess between said outer face and said inner face of said disk-shaped plug; and wherein said recess is substantially disposed and centered in said outer face of said disk-shaped plug to accept and constrain a helix tip of the corkscrew during use of the corkscrew. 2. The closure of claim 1 wherein said disk-shaped plug comprises at least one material selected from the group consisting of wax, synthetic polymers, compressible materials, and a combination thereof. 3. In combination with a bottle for ingestible fluids, said bottle having an opening, a closure for said bottle opening, said closure comprising: a cylindrical body comprising a compressible material having an outer and an inner surface and comprising a length of said closure from said outer surface to said inner surface, and said cylindrical body disposed in said bottle opening; a corkscrew guide disposed in said outer surface of said cylindrical body, said corkscrew guide comprising a raised nipple having an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the bottle opening and substantially centered on an axis of said cylindrical body, said nipple comprising a wall to radially constrain a tip of a corkscrew, and said nipple adapted to a helix of the corkscrew to constrain a central position of the corkscrew during use. 4. A closure for a wine bottle opening comprising: a cylindrical body comprising a compressible material having an outer surface and an inner surface, said cylindrical body disposable in the wine bottle opening; a disk-shaped plug disposed on said outer surface of said cylindrical body, said disk-shaped plug comprising: an outer face and an inner face; at least two component disks of different colors; and a deformable material, said deformable material comprising at least one material selected from the group consisting of wax, synthetic polymers, compressible materials, and a combination thereof; and a corkscrew guide disposed in said outer surface of said disk-shaped plug, said guide comprising a recess having one outer opening, said opening smaller than the diameter of said outer surface and smaller than the inner diameter of the bottle opening, and said recess having at least two walls, at least one of said walls to constrain a tip of a corkscrew and to constrain radial positioning of the corkscrew as the corkscrew penetrates said disk-shaped plug, and at least one of said walls comprising a closed bottom surface of said recess, said bottom surface disposed in said recess between said outer face and said inner face of said disk-shaped plug; and wherein said recess is substantially centered on an axis of said disk-shaped plug and the open face of said recess is adapted to a helix of the corkscrew to constrain a central position of the corkscrew during use of the corkscrew. 5. A closure for a wine bottle opening comprising: a cylindrical body comprising a compressible material having an outer surface and an inner surface, said cylindrical body disposable in the wine bottle opening; a disk-shaped plug disposed on said outer surface of said cylindrical body, said disk-shaped plug comprising an outer face and an inner face and comprising a deformable material; and a first corkscrew guide disposed in said outer surface of said disk-shaped plug, said first guide comprising a recess having one outer opening, said opening smaller than the diameter of said outer surface and smaller than the inner diameter of the bottle opening, and said recess having at least two walls, at least one of said walls to constrain a tip of a corkscrew and to constrain radial positioning of the corkscrew as the corkscrew penetrates said disk-shaped plug, and at least one of said walls comprising a closed bottom surface of said recess, said bottom surface disposed in said recess between said outer face and said inner face of said disk-shaped plug, and wherein said recess is substantially centered on an axis of said disk-shaped plug and the open face of said recess is adapted to a helix of the corkscrew to constrain a central position of the corkscrew during use of the corkscrew; and a second corkscrew guide disposed in said inner face of said disk-shaped plug. 6. A closure for a wine bottle opening comprising: a cylindrical body comprising a compressible material having an outer surface and an Inner surface, said cylindrical body disposable in the wine bottle opening; a disk-shaped plug disposed on said outer surface of said cylindrical body, said disk-shaped plug comprising an outer face and an inner face and comprising a deformable material; and a corkscrew guide disposed in said outer surface of said disk-shaped plug, said guide comprising: a first recess having one outer opening, said opening smaller than the diameter of said outer surface and smaller than the inner diameter of the bottle opening, and said recess having at least two walls, at least one of said walls to constrain a tip of a corkscrew and to constrain radial positioning of the corkscrew as the corkscrew penetrates said disk-shaped plug, and at least one of said walls comprising a closed bottom surface of said recess, said bottom surface disposed in said recess between said outer face and said inner face of said disk-shaped plug; and a second, conical recess disposed and centrally positioned in said outer face of said plug; and wherein said first recess is substantially centered on an axis of said disk-shaped plug and the open face of said first recess is adapted to a helix of the corkscrew to constrain a central position of the corkscrew during use of the corkscrew disposed and centered in said outer face of said disk-shaped plug to accept and constrain a helix tip of the corkscrew during use of the corkscrew. 7. A closure for a wine bottle opening comprising: a cylindrical body comprising a compressible material having an outer surface and an inner surface, said cylindrical body disposable in the wine bottle opening; a disk-shaped plug disposed on said outer surface of said cylindrical body, said disk-shaped plug comprising an outer face and an inner face and comprising a deformable material; and a corkscrew guide disposed in said outer surface of said disk-shaped plug, said guide comprising a nipple or a recess, said recess having one outer opening, said opening smaller than the diameter of said outer surface and smaller than the inner diameter of the bottle opening, and said recess having at least two walls, at least one of said walls to constrain a tip of a corkscrew and to constrain radial positioning of the corkscrew to produce central guidance as the corkscrew penetrates said disk-shaped plug, and a closed bottom surface of said recess, said bottom surface disposed in said recess between said outer face and said inner face of said disk-shaped plug; and wherein said recess comprises at least one member selected from the group consisting of a cylindrical recess, multiple circles having a centered geometry, a plurality of recesses of different diameters assembled according to their sizes, a plurality of co-central annular rings assembled according to their sizes, a recess having an asymmetrical geometry, a plurality of v-shaped grooves assembled according to their sizes, multiple separated holes, multiple annular recesses positioned in an asymmetrical pattern, and a combination thereof; and wherein said nipple or recess is substantially disposed and centered in said outer face of said disk-shaped plug to accept and constrain a helix tip of the corkscrew during use of the corkscrew. 8.
