Wine Corks and Closures

We carry a large selection of corks for wine bottles as well as, screw caps, stoppers, and closures so you can seal your wine bottle any way you choose. Which cork should you use? While the answer can seem complicated, it comes down to this simple question: How long you want to age your wine?

For short term wine aging (3-6 months) a #7 cork will work well. For medium term wine aging (up to 9 months) a #8 cork will do the trick. If you are trying to build a large and diverse wine cellar, we suggest using #9 corks. This will allow for long term aging (9 months or more).

Please note that using a #9 cork will require the use of a compression corker. We recommend making an investment in one of our floor corker options. While they are a little more expensive, they pay huge dividends in time saved and ease of use on bottling day.
