Wine Corks
Wine corks are small cylindrical stoppers made primarily from the bark of the cork oak tree. They are used to seal wine bottles, preventing air from entering and spoiling the wine. Corks can also help maintain the wine's flavor and aroma by allowing a small amount of oxygen to interact with the liquid over time.
There are different types of wine corks, including natural corks, synthetic corks, and screw caps. Natural corks are favored for their traditional appeal and ability to age wine, while synthetic corks and screw caps offer convenience and consistency. Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages in preserving wine quality.
