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 do 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 a compression corker. We recommend investing 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.
We are excited to introduce two exceptional additions to our lineup of wine making supplies: Neutrocork®️ and Acquamark®️ wine corks.
Neutrocork offers remarkable structural stability with its uniform-sized microcork granule composition, providing an attractive appearance and easy extraction at a competitive price.
Acquamark corks, featuring a high-tech water-based coating, deliver superior sealing capacity and wine preservation, ensuring your wines maintain their integrity and quality throughout storage and aging.
