Short answer: Likely yes.

General Rule:

Any utensil that comes in direct contact with food requires tevilah.

Main Exceptions:

1. Items that are completely made out of unglazed earthenware, wood, or plastic.


2. Disposable items.


3. Utensils that were never owned by a non-jew.

---

A wine bottle stopper comes in direct contact with wine. Unless it will fall into one of the categories delineated above, it will need tevilah.

Assuming it is not covered by any of the exceptions, whether or not it needs to be toiveled with a bracha depends on a few different factors.

1. Vessels only used for the storage of food are toiveled without a bracha. I don't know the exact design of your stopper, unless it actually pours wine, it would likely fall into this category. (maybe not - I'm not sure, but a in a safek we don't say a bracha anyways. Not that this is necessarily a safek.)


2. It also depends on what material it is made out of. Gold, silver, iron, steel, copper, tin, brass, lead (was used in biblical times, not really reccomended nowadays), glass, pyrex, corelle and crystal require a bracha. Corningware, porcelain china, enameled pots, teflon coated pans and aluminum vessels are toiveled without a bracha.

In summary, the wine stopper comes in contact with food and would require tevilah, but depending on if it's used for storage or pouring, or the material will determine if a bracha is to be made.

  "Main Exceptions: Items that are completely made out of unglazed earthenware, wood, or plastic." The vast majority of wine stoppers I'm familiar with are made of wood. You may want to mention this in your answer: it seems very germane.
