  • ABOUT CORKS

  •  
    Which cork is right for you? Look realistically at how long you expect to store your wine before drinking. A good rule of thumb is 'you get what you pay for.' The cheapest cork isn't always the best, and if you do decide to keep some bottles for the future, you may find yourself having to re-cork them in a few years. If you are making a wine you intend to drink within the next 6 months, a very long cork might be a waste of money.  GO HERE FOR MORE ABOUT USING CORKS.
