Choosing a cork stopper is the first step to ensuring that you will enjoy a quality drink. However, there are a number of aspects to take care of to ensure cork and wine are in perfect symbiosis.
Some basic rules should be followed when bottling, shipping and storing wines to obtain the most from the properties of the cork stoppers. These rules are:
- Select the stoppers appropriate for the bottles used and for the type of wine to be bottled;
- Correct storage of the cork stoppers before bottling;
- At bottling (with special attention to the correct use of cork stoppers on the filling line, especially in relation to the suitable conditions of the jaw set), shipping and storage of wine.
Compliance with these rules is decisive in ensuring quality when the wine is consumed.
