More corks

I promised more discussion on this, however I still haven't found the essay I'm looking for so here's an interesting take on it from another blogger.

Ruminations on cork taint from wino-sapien.blogspot.com

The question of using traditional cork, or caps, or synthetic materials when bottling wines isn't really the issue for Ultra Wine Saver. The argument we make is that having opened a bottle of wine and then not finishing it....what do you do to preserve it? Regardless of how well the cork sealed the wine for however many years, do you really wanna shove a moldy peice of bark upside down i.e. the part that was exposed to mold and dirt--back into the apeture of your bottle???

No I say! Really the only option for RECORKING wine is to use what the Ultra Wine Saver kit provides in the box; (3) sterile silicone stoppers that can be sanatized and reused. By not doing so, you might as well shake an air conditioning units filter over your bottle, you're likely to get as much dirt back into the bottle either way.


Edit: A bit silly for me to talk about our corks without showing them!
