You could subtract the two shapes to create a perfect fit (see Path-options in the menu), but I prefer to draw two separate shapes by hand and use the Node Tool (F2) to adjust them if necessary. The top is supposed to fit exactly in the bottom. Now draw the top of the cork, and give this part a darker color brown. Grab the Bezier Tool (Shift+F6) again and draw the base of the cork. The cork is supposed to fit in the glass neck. Adding strokes to shapes can quickly make things look cartoonish, and that's not what we're aiming for right now. You don't have to select a stroke paint, so leave it empty. Now do the same for the neck of the bottle, only pick a slightly darker color blue.
Pick a nice light blue color to use as the fill color. This isn't just an Inkscape thing, it's how all vector images are build. The stroke can be seen as a line around the edges of the shape. The fill defines the base paint for the object. You see multiple tabs here for fill and stroke. Go to Object > Fill and Stroke in the menu to open up the color selector. Select the circle shape you've drawn in the previous step. You can rearrange the order of the shapes by going to the Object menu and selecting Raise or Lower. Adjust the nodes until the shape is as desired. You can set up a basic shape and adjust it later by double clicking the shape or selecting the Node Tool (F2). Even in the example image you can see it's all wobbly, but that's not going to be visible in the end result. There is a cork going to fall over this part. Connect the starting node with the ending node to finish your shape. If you want to draw a straight line use the shortcut Shift+L. You can hold down the right mouse button and drag to adjust the angle of the line between the nodes. Start by clicking on the canvas to place a node. Use this tool to draw the neck of the bottle. Once the base is ready, grab the Bezier Tool (Shift+F6).
Hold Ctrl while dragging to create a perfectly round circle shape. Draw an eclipse using the Ellipse Tool (F5).
