In some cases this may happen if there is bubble bath on the inside of the glass where the cork touches, or in the case of extreme temperatures. If the bottle & cork are at room temperature, then we recommend using a cloth or tissue to quickly wipe the top inside of the glass (just the area where the cork touches) and then run the cork under water and dab it dry before inserting. It should then stay put!
