Needed a few stoppers so I stopped by my LHBS on the way home from work. Upon my arrival home, I went downstairs to finish degassing my orange chocolate port. Unfortunately, I picked up size 6 1/2 stoppers instead of 7. Right about the time i realized this and reached to release the vacuum: "poof!" into the carboy went the stopper. :slp

This was a brand new rubber stopper that still has some rubbery smell to it. Should I rack the wine into another carboy, or just sit back with a glass of wine and have a good laugh at myself?
 
Well have that glass of wine and definitely have that laugh but do it while you are racking the wine into a new carboy.
 
OK, done. Next question: what can I top this up with? I don't have any brandy in the house. Do have some Grand Marnier though.

Thanks for your help!
